You can choose to register your Myki, or not, as you wish.
It is possible to get a card completely anonymously from Myki vending machines or over the counter. Unregistered cards get access to the same fares.
If you register your card you are protected against theft or the loss of the card, because you can report the loss, have your Myki deactivated, and have the remaining credit balance transferred to a new card. You can also set a registered card to be topped up automatically with money from your bank account.
Public Transport Victoria (PTV) has published a privacy policy which goes into some detail about when they might provide someone’s travel data to authorities.
