MYKI, Victoria’s Secret

Myki is required for all people who want to visit Australia and it is well recognized when you are in Australia for example, in buses, trains and trams, it is almost the most expensive card that a person will have. Myki can be purchase through online or by phone (1800 800 007) or you can get it from any Myki vending machine located in near railway outlet. Instead of tickets they used Myki card in Australia, it is not usual for another country and yes, it is reloadable depending on how much you will use and there is a vending machine in some street that reads your Myki card that allows you to check the remaining balance of your card, so you are always to date.

There is a certain area in Australia specifically in Melbourne city that all transportation you make is free and won't charge a single dime on your Myki card remaining load. Every time you make a transaction with your Myki card you will make sure that you will touch-in your Myki card for the station to assure you that your ticket is valid for transportation. Of course every time you touch-in at a certain station you must touch-out before going out or else they will not let you out and you may be charged for a fare that you didn’t use because they may assume that you took a two-zone trip and sure will charge you for that for your irresponsibility.

Your card and also your load on your Myki card won’t expire even if you will not use it for 3 months; the only thing will happen is that they will update you through online or through your phone. Myki card expiration has duration of 4 years, after your 1st load using money, but when it expires or when it is near to its duration there is a staffed metropolitan at a train station where you can replace it for free and any balance within it can be transferred in your new card. You can refund for a slightly used Myki card or even an unused Myki card through online or completing the Myki refund and reimbursement form. This is only possible if your card is not yet expired; you must also return the card after filling-up the form. The refunded load can only send to through check with only the maximum amount on 250$ and 21 processing days for the check to be released so be wise on loading your Myki card especially when you are only for a short term trip.

So, if you are planning to travel, work or study in Australia, never forget to apply for this card because for surely you will benefit from it.
