Free Transport For Under 1

From Thursday 1 January 2026, people aged under 18 can travel free on all Victorian public transport services. 

This includes trams, trains, buses andcoach services.

Previously people aged 5 to 18 years could use a child myki card and buy a 

concession fare. To access free travel from January, they must use a new youth myki card and tap the card on and off each time they travel. For areas that do not use myki cards, they must show their myki card to travel free. More information about the youth myki card will be available later this month on the myki types https://transport.vic.gov.au/tickets-and-myki/myki/myki-types webpage.

If your child is transitioning to school next year, you can find information about travel options, and support for eligible students, on the Travelling to school website
