    I did touch off at South Geelong. But thanks for your post, because I did a check on my Myki history and it did say something about resetting my defaut fare. Maybe criss crossing on the city loop without passing a touch on/off point messed things up.

    It should not matter if touch on at a city loop station and travel to Southern Cross then catch the Geelong service without leaving the paid area.

    For example - Melbourne Central - you touch on and travel to Southern Cross and then get train at Southern Cross to South Geelong with out leaving the paid area.

    It should be a Zone 1 to 4 fare off-peak fare- have you ring or email PTV, ask them a refund yet?

    The system should work out : Melbourne Central or any other city loop station is Zone 1 and South Geelong is Zone 4 :


    • If you are travelling between   Geelong (zone 4) and  City Loop station (zone 1),  fare should work out  as the following (4-1+1 = 4 zones).



    Off the topic - from Apirl next year - it would be cheaper to travel to Melbourne to Sunshine and then catch the train from Sunshine to South Geelong compare to Melbourne to South Geelong.
    Melbourne to Sunshine - $3.58
    Sunshine to South Geelong - $6.86
    = $10.44
    Melbourne to Southern Cross = $11.20

    or

    Melbourne to Lara : $3.58
    Lara to South Geelong : $2.10

    $5.68

    Note all fares are the current 2014 fares.
