Public transport will be free across Victoria on Christmas Day and on New Year’s Eve making it safer, cheaper and easier to leave the car at home and enjoy the festivities.

On Christmas Day, public transport throughout Victoria will be free from 3am on Christmas Day until 3am on Boxing Day and will operate to a Sunday timetable.

Metropolitan trains, trams, buses and regional town buses will also be free from 6pm on New Year's Eve until 6am on New Year's Day.

V/Line travel will be free on services where touch on occurs after 6pm on New Year’s Eve. There is also free travel on the first V/Line service to each regional destination on New Year’s Day.

Customers do not need to travel with a valid myki or touch on during free travel periods. If a customer touches on their myki they will not be charged.

For detailed service information, see:

  It's a shame Citylink doesn't do the same and allow free travel on those days.

    It's also a shame that their tolling has been extended for many years past the original plan. I think it was due to end in 2034 but now they've renegotiated for another decade? I can't remember the exact details. But they're raking in billions and we're getting absolutely ripped off with those tolls :(

      Shareholders and foreigners getting their bargains. Your fault for being poor.

      Its not just Labor, Liberals are increasing tolls for non liberal seats in NSW. Heck, one motorway just got slapped a toll for 43 years after being free.

      Vote out libtards n labards everywhere by prefering minors above the rich majors.

        "by prefering minors above the rich majors" - Someone under 18 would probably actually do a better job.

      The worst part is that Citylink prevents the government from improving any of the free east-west routes that go into the city. So essentially all roads are frozen in time in 1999 without any possibility of being widened. In fact, most of the "free" routes into the city (Alexandra Ave, St. Kilda Road, Toorak Rd) have had their limits reduced and have been narrowed, which pushes more people onto Citylink.
