Victoria, Australia, launched a ticketless train trial in 2026 using contactless bank cards on four lines, limited to full-fare passengers.

In 2026, Victoria, Australia, began a ticketless travel trial on the Craigieburn, Upfield, Ballarat, and Seymour train lines, allowing full-fare passengers to use tap-and-go bank cards instead of traditional myki cards. The initiative, part of a broader push to modernize public transit, features color-coded ticket readers and barriers to identify supported stations. While the trial aims to improve convenience and align with national contactless payment trends, it remains limited to specific routes and fare types, with no current plans for expansion to concession or off-peak travelers, and no timeline for full rollout.
