Public transport fare revenue

Why this is important

The fares public transport users pay help cover the costs of operating and maintaining Victoria’s public transport system. 

When the fare system is managed effectively, including charging and collecting fares correctly, revenue is maximised in line with the government's fare policy. It also helps to ensure public transport users have confidence that they are paying the right fares.

Recent changes to the government's fare policy include the Youth myki and the regional fare cap. 

It is important that appropriate systems are in place to protect the integrity of revenue collected from public transport users and that this takes recent fare changes into account.
