What's driving the attention

Melbourne commuters can now use tap-and-go payments instead of Myki cards on public transport.

Melbourne has introduced a new ticketless travel system allowing public transport users to pay via bank cards and smartphones using tap-and-go technology, marking a shift away from the traditional Myki card system. This change, arriving nearly a decade after Sydney implemented similar technology, aims to simplify fare payments and has been gradually rolled out to various groups of commuters on trains and trams.
