Touching on and touching off allows the system to know what to charge you, although touching off on trams is optional (see below).
Touch on your Myki ticket at a reader as you enter the station, or as you board the tram or bus. Touch off the ticket at a reader as you leave the station, or leave the tram (optional) or bus.
You must place the ticket flat on the reader. Don’t “swipe” it or move it around, because the reader will take longer to respond or not read the card at all.
The card must be within about half a centimetre of the reader, but preferably touching it. It will usually work from inside a wallet or bag, especially if the Myki ticket is in the closest pocket, but this isn’t guaranteed. It will often not work if you have other cards in your wallet which use similar technology (an RFID chip), because that confuses the reader.
