Discounted Metcards
PTUA is offering discounted yearly tickets through Metlink’s Commuter Club. The offer is more than 9% discount on the retail price which means that 12 months travel cost less than 10 monthly tickets, so it’s a great deal for regular travellers. If you’re not a PTUA member, even after the $25 membership fee, it’s still a substantial saving.
The year counts from the first time you validate the ticket. It is refundable pro-rata from Metlink under certain circumstances, and registered under your name in case of loss.
And just like a Weekly or Monthly Metcard, it’s valid in both suburban zones on Saturdays and Sundays, even if you’ve only paid for one zone. (Note this benefit is valid for periodical Metcards, but does not apply to Myki Pass.)
Refer to Chapter 9 of Metlink’s Victorian Fares and Ticketing Manual for details of refund conditions and procedures.

* $25 membership is not payable if you are already a PTUA Bronze (regular), Silver, Gold or Family/household member. Please note that Commuter Club is not offered to concession members because Yearly tickets are only available at full fare.
^ Due to bank fees, a surcharge applies to ticket payment by credit card. This can be avoided by using any of the other payment methods offered.
What’s happening with Myki?
For now, Yearly tickets are Metcards. After Myki is introduced on trams and buses, sales of Myki Yearly Passes will commence, including via Commuter Club. At this time, Yearly Metcard holders will contacted about swapping their ticket for a Myki card, free of charge.
