Topping up a myki can be done online through Public Transport Victoria website, or bus drivers can load up to $20 cash into the myki.
Once the card has credit, you simply swipe the myki sensor when boarding and departing all trains, trams and buses.

Students who do not have a VPT card and request a concession fare can be fined by patrolling transport officers. A Federation student ID card does not entitle you to a concession fare.
VPT cards cost $9; students must complete the VPT concession form and provide two passport photos. Generally, full-time domestic students are eligible.
