Public Transport Pricing
As of January 2009, Melbourne public transport prices were slightly higher than in other mainland cities and comparable with Sydney. Prices quoted are for single full-fare prices and do not include discounts available for electronic tickets, such as myki in Melbourne or go card in Brisbane. As from 29 December, myki will be the only ticketing system in Melbourne, so the discounted pricing (not shown below) will become the standard. Unlike Sydney, Melbourne ticketing is multi-modal - a single ticket and a single price covers whatever transport you choose, being train, tram or bus.

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or transport:
“The trade of advertising is now so near perfection that it is not easy to propose any improvement. But as every art ought to be exercised in due subordination to the public good, I cannot but propose it as a moral question to these masters of the public ear, whether they do not sometimes play too wantonly with our passions.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
