The 5 x Weekend Daily Metcard is a single ticket programmed with five days of Saturday or Sunday travel. It is similar to the normal 5 x Daily Metcard, but is specifically designed for travel on Saturdays or Sundays.

The 5 x Weekend Daily Metcard will cost $14.50 which works out to $2.90 per day.

A Zone 1 + 2 Daily Metcard currently costs $10.10 but the 5 x Weekend Daily gives customers the option of purchasing five days of travel for just $4.40 more. That’s five times the travel for less than $5.

No - the 5 x Weekend Daily Metcard is only valid on Saturdays and Sundays to ensure there is no confusion about when it can be used.

5 x Weekend Daily Metcards are available from Metcard retail agents across Melbourne, the MetShop, the customer service centres of Premium Stations, online and from the Metcard Helpline on 1800 652 313.

No – you have the flexibility of using the 5 x Weekend Daily Metcard for travel on Saturdays or Sundays, so an individual Saturday Metcard is not required. You are free to use your 5 x Weekend Daily Metcard purely for Saturday travel.

The cost per trip using either the Sunday Saver Metcard and a 5 x Weekend Daily Metcard works out to $2.90. If you are a regular Sunday Saver traveller, consider switching to a 5 x Weekend Daily Metcard, avoid queues when you buy your ticket and always be prepared for travel with a Value Metcard.

The 5 x Weekend Daily Metcard is designed to be purchased in advance – not necessarily on the day of travel. The 5 x Weekend Daily Metcard provides customers with a significant financial incentive to plan ahead and purchase a ticket for future travel. Most Melbournians regularly visit locations that sell Metcards or have access to the internet where the 5 x Weekend Daily Metcard can be purchased and delivered free.

Yes. The 5 x Weekend Daily can be ordered from Metlink’s online store. Delivery is free. In most cases, tickets ordered before 3pm normally arrive on the next business day. Customers are advised to order well in advance.

You can exchange defective 5 x Weekend Daily Metcards for individual Sunday Saver tickets at station booking offices. This is the preferred method of refund.

However, if wish to travel on Saturdays, then you must return the ticket to Onelink using the standard refund application form, which is available for download via the following link:

If the ticket was damaged by the customer, a refund fee will apply. If the ticket is defective and shows no signs of wear and tear, no refund fee will apply.

At present, a significant number of people use 10 x 2 hour and 5 x Daily tickets to travel on Saturdays. If an individual ticket was introduced for travel on Saturdays, these customers would switch to purchasing a ticket each time they travelled – significantly lengthening the lines at ticket booking offices on Saturdays. The 5 x Weekend Daily will ensure that people can enjoy significant savings and only have to purchase a new ticket occasionally.

There is no concession version of the 5 x Weekend Daily as it is heavily discounted for all users. For example, at $2.90 per day, the 5 x Weekend Daily ticket is 45 per cent cheaper than the Zone 1 + 2 Daily Concession ticket.

Victorian seniors are also offered free travel on Sundays through the Seniors Sunday Pass. For more information, view Seniors Sunday Pass.

Only one person can travel on a 5 x Weekend Daily Metcard each day. However, you can transfer the ticket to another person to use on another day.
