The Victorian Seniors Travel Package
Applications are now being accepted for the Seniors Sunday Pass.
This pass provides Victorian Seniors with free travel within zones
1+2+3 on Sundays from 27 August 2006. Free travel is also available
on local town bus services around the state.
Seniors will now be eligible for concession fares on V/Line services
at all times (current time restrictions will be abolished). This
will halve most peak fares on weekdays and significantly reduce
fares on weekends. Seniors will also receive two off-peak travel
vouchers every year, enabling them to travel free on selected off-peak
services. These will be posted out in late 2006.
The best way to apply to apply for the Seniors Sunday Pass is online
at metlinkmelbourne.com.au. Passes are mailed out.
Application forms are now available from Elwood RSL as well as more
than 1,000 locations across Victoria, including premium railway
stations, V/Line staffed stations, the Metshop at Melbourne Town
Hall (corner of Swanston and Little Collins Streets) and Metcard
retail agents. Application forms can be posted in.
Seniors Sunday Passes can also be obtained 'on the spot' from all
Premium and V/Line staffed stations from 9.30am to 3.00pm Monday
to Friday. Seniors need to present a completed application form
and their Victorian Seniors Card.
Further information on these initiatives and other public transport
services is available from metlinkmelbourne.com.au
or by telephoning 131 638.
