Buying Metcards from ticket vending machines

Metcards can be purchased from ticket vending machines at train stations and on trams. On buses you can purchase your ticket from the driver.

Follow these simple steps and the instructions on the machine's display screen to purchase your Metcard.

Step 1.

Select the type of Metcard you require

Step 2.

Select the zone(s) in which you are travelling.

Step 3.

Select your fare - either full fare or concession (you must be eligible to purchase a concession fare. See Concessions)

Step 4.

Insert your money. Please note, machines on trams only accept coins. The larger machines at train stations do accept notes but will only give change up to $10. EFTPOS facilities are available at the larger machines at train stations.

If you make a mistake before you put in your money, simply press CANCEL and start again.
