Free weekend travel across Victoria this summer

To celebrate the opening of the Metro Tunnel, public transport users will have access to free weekend travel, providing an opportunity to see Melbourne’s 5 newest underground train stations. 

Two months of free travel will apply every Saturday and Sunday from early December 2025 to 1 February 2026 and extend across all modes of public transport within Victoria. 

Passengers will not need a valid ticket or myki to claim free travel and ticket barriers will be set to open. However, some regional services will continue to require a reservation at zero cost to manage seating capacity, in-line with existing requirements. 

On services using the myki system, passengers will not be required to touch on or off with their myki. However, a zero-tariff will be applied to the myki system for the free travel periods, to ensure that passengers who continue to tap on or off won’t be charged.
