Validating your Metcard
You are required by law to always validate your Metcard before entering a train platform and each time you board a tram or bus.
On trams, buses and train stations without barriers, simply insert your Metcard into the green validating boxes.

Tip: The arrow on your Metcard indicates which way the Metcard should be inserted into the validator.
Metcards purchased on board trams and buses are already validated, and do not need to be validated again on that vehicle. However, if you transfer to another train, tram or bus, the Metcard must be revalidated on that next service.
