This is the guide - what to buy, where to buy it, how to tap, what trips it covers, and the daily-cap rule that turns long days into free rides.</p> <h2 id="what-is-myki">What Is Myki</h2> <p>Myki is a stored-value smartcard. You load credit, tap on at the start of every tram, train, or bus journey, tap off when you leave (only required on trains; trams and most buses are tap-on-only).

Run by Public Transport Victoria, not the council.</p>https://melbz.com.au/guides/uk-vs-australia-transport/Fri, 08 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://melbz.com.au/guides/uk-vs-australia-transport/<p>Moving from London or any UK city, the Melbourne transport system is partly familiar (trains, buses, walking) and partly alien (trams everywhere, hook turns, e-scooter rules).
