Victoria’s scheme will make available discounted tickets in all metropolitan travel zones including Zone 1 only which covers inner Melbourne as well as within regional centres (if education providers choose to enter into the scheme).
The scheme will be trialled from 2015 for three years in partnership with education providers to reduce transport costs for eligible students in eligible Melbourne metropolitan and country educational institutions.
An overseas student will now save up to $1105 per year travelling on the public transport network.
