Bicycles Melbourne Bike Share is a public bike hire scheme whereby the general public can share the use of bicycles to get around Melbourne. A daily, weekly or annual subscription can be purchased which allows the rider 30 minutes free use of a bicycle during each trip made during the subscription period. Usage fees apply if any of your trips exceed 30 minutes. Around 50 bike stations are located around inner city Melbourne and a bike can be collected from one of those station and and returned to any other station.For further information, see Melbourne Bike Share.
Myki ticketing system Myki (pronounced as "my key") is a new smart card which is being progressively rolled out throughout all of Victoria in 2010 for travellers on public trains, trams and buses. It will provide seamless travel between all modes of public transport in both metropolitan and regional areas of Victoria, replacing Metcard, V/Line and other related public transport ticketing systems.The Myki reusable plastic card stores credit for public transport usage which you can add to at any time. So when travelling, you don't need to work out which is the appropriate type of ticket to buy or to have money on hand to cover the fare. Simply swipe your Myki card as you board and leave your public transport and the best fare is automatically calculated and deducted from your stored balance. For visitors or infrequent travellers who don't want to use Myki, short term tickets are available for purchase.
Planning your trip You may find it helpful to see the public transport options available in the specific town, city or suburb you wish to travel to or from.

You will be able to specify your origin and destination and have the entire journey planned for you.
