Victoria / Melbourne Road network

Victoria and Melbourne's road network contains different types of roads,  including freeways, tollways, highways, and local streets. Melbourne's tollway road system is based on an electric e-tag system. Individuals using Citylink/Eastlink will need a toll account to access the tollway. There is an option for a day pass, which allows users to utilize the tollway for the day. It's important to note that Melbourne's tollway network has no coin toll booths.

Ticket System

The new public transport fares in Victoria introduce changes to simplify the fare structure and provide greater passenger flexibility. Some key highlights include:

1. Fare Capping: The introduction of fare capping allows passengers using Myki cards to travel for free after reaching the daily or weekly fare cap, providing cost savings for frequent travellers.
2. Integration with V/Line: Passengers with V/Line tickets that include Melbourne now automatically receive access to zones 1 and 2 on their ticket at no extra cost, enhancing convenience for regional travellers.

3. Flexibility with Paper Tickets: Passengers can still use paper tickets for V/Line services with MYKI cards, offering flexibility for travel beyond Myki coverage areas.

These changes aim to streamline the fare system, making public transportation more accessible and convenient for passengers across Victoria.
