How to Purchase a myki Bus Pass  

It is not compulsory for travellers to have a bus pass; casual travellers can use a tap on tap off myki. Purchasing a pass is a two-step process – firstly families must:

• Obtain a Student Travel Concession Card, forms are available from the General Office, or from ptv.vic.edu.au
• Complete the form and affix two passport sized photos (Grade 6 school photos are acceptable).
• Attend the General Office at Coolock or St Mary’s to have the form signed by College staff, then attend Bendigo Station to purchase the card and myki bus pass.
