Train passengers in Victoria will finally be able to pay their fare using a bank card, phone or smartwatch from next year, in a long-awaited update to the state’s ticketing system.
The public transport minister, Gabrielle Williams, on Friday announced more than 20,000 new card readers would be installed across the metropolitan and V/Line networks over the coming months that will eventually allow commuters to “tap and go” without needing a Myki card.
