Victorians have been getting free public transport due to the fuel crisis for a while, but this cuts out at the end of May.
From 1 June a 50% discount will apply AND that also applies to Concessions fares - so this Senior is quite happy to now pay 25% of a full fare!

Half Price Travel

 

Public transport in Victoria is half price for everyone, every day, from 1 June 2026 until ​1 January 2027.​​ 
 
Half price travel is for everyone in Victoria, including concession holders, whose already discounted fares will be cut in half again.​ 
 
Whether travelling by train, tram or bus, half price travel saves daily commuters over $850.​​ 

​Half price fares will automatically apply to all public transport services statewide, including trains, trams and buses.​​ 
 
Full fare customers also have the option to tap and go, with trials of contactless payment options resuming on selected train lines from 1 June.​ 
 
From 1 June it’s time to tap on. To access half priced travel, customers can tap on or purchase a ticket as usual.

Same here but my Melbourne trip to the PROV tomorrow, on our very recently restored train service, will still be free.
