Melbourne's public transport network is divided into two main fare zones.

The type of ticket or myki you travel with depends on which zones you travel in.

Metcards and myki are available for travel in the individual zones or both.

Check which zones your journey covers before selecting a ticket to ensure it covers your entire journey.

The zones for tram have recently changed. For more information, see travelling with the right ticket.

For example, travelling to Belgrave Station (Zone 2) from the city (Zone 1) will require a Zone 1+2 ticket.

Zone 1, Zone 2 and zone boundary overlap

	Zone 1 covers the CBD and most inner suburbs of metropolitan Melbourne.
	Zone 2 covers the outer suburbs of metropolitan Melbourne.
Zone boundary overlap	When travelling in a zone boundary overlap, passengers can travel with a ticket valid for either zone.

 Travelling with the right ticket

Tickets need to be valid for each zone travelled in; however, when travelling in a zone boundary overlap, the ticket can be valid for either zone.

Tram passengers only

If you travel across Zones 1 and 2, you will pay only a Zone 1 fare as the Zone 1 and 2 overlap now extends to the end of routes 42, 75, 86 and 109. For trips taken entirely within Zone 2, you should remember to touch off with your myki to get the best fare or continue using a Zone 2 Metcard. 

See Metcard or myki to work out which ticket suits your travel. 

When you plan a trip using the journey planner your trip plan will tell you which zone/s you will be travelling in.

City Saver (Metcard only)

City Saver Metcards are designed for travel around the city centre as well as to key Melbourne landmarks. They allow a single trip within the City Saver area.

Remember, the City Saver area is located in Zone 1, so a Zone 1 Metcard may be more appropriate for your journey.

City Saver fares are not available for myki customers on trains, trams or buses. You can continue accessing the City Saver fare with Metcard.
