To celebrate the opening of the Metro Tunnel, public transport users will have access to free weekend travel this summer.
This is the perfect opportunity for everyone to come see Melbourne’s 5 newest underground train stations.
From the day the Metro Tunnel opens in early December, public transport in Victoria will be free for everyone, every weekend until 1 February 2026.
Passengers won’t need a valid ticket or myki to travel for free and ticket barriers will be set to open.
Some regional services will continue to require a reservation at zero cost to manage seating capacity, in-line with existing requirements.
On services using myki, passengers won’t be required to tap on or off with their myki. A zero-tariff will be applied to the myki system for the free travel periods, to ensure that passengers who continue to tap on or off won’t be charged.
