By
Rachel Eddie
Summary
After months of delays, Melbourne's train network will finally launch contactless "tap-and-go" payments this month, allowing commuters to use credit cards, phones, or smartwatches across all myki-enabled train stations. The rollout happens in two stages starting this Sunday, covering the entire Metro Trains network and some regional V/Line stations. However, concession passengers and those using trams and buses will still need to wait, with the Allan government promising a timeline for those networks in the coming weeks.
