Myki / Opal / Go Card

Public transport smartcards. Myki = Victoria, Opal = NSW, Go Card = Queensland, Metrocard = SA, smartrider = WA. Each state runs its own.

What newcomers get wrong

Cards don't work across states. Buy a fresh one each time you move state. Most states now also accept tap-and-go credit/debit cards directly — useful if you're visiting briefly.
