Victorian Seniors Card holders are entitled to concession fares on trains, trams and buses across Zones 1 and 2.
Victorian Seniors Card holders can also make full use of the Seniors Daily Metcard to travel all day on trains, trams and buses across Zones 1 and 2 for only $3.40.
To save time, purchase a 5 x Seniors Daily. This is the Value Metcard option for the Seniors Daily, programmed with five separate days of travel for $16.50.
Both these Metcards can be purchased online. See Seniors Daily and 5 x Seniors Daily for details on where you can buy these Metcards.
Victorian Seniors Card holders are eligible for a Sunday Pass, which allows free travel on Sundays on metropolitan trains, trams and buses within Zones 1 and 2. The pass is also valid for travel in selected regional cities.

V/Line concessions for Victorian seniors
Victorian Seniors Card holders are able to travel at concession fares on V/Line train and coach services at all times. This new benefit means peak hour fares for seniors are generally halved on weekdays and significantly reduces fares on weekends.
