Touch on and touch off

How myki records a public transport trip.

Touch on

Touch on before boarding or entering a paid area. A valid touch on records that you have started a trip.

Touch off

Touch off where required so the system can calculate the right fare for the trip.

Default fares

If the system cannot work out the trip correctly, a default fare may apply. Check current PTV guidance for mode-specific rules.
