Victorian public transport minister Lynne Kosky said those on disability support pensions or receiving carer payments could now travel free on Sundays, along with Victorian senior card holders, from October 26.
Those wishing to take up the offer would need to obtain a Sunday Pass Metcard, which is valid on trains, trams and buses travelling in metropolitan Melbourne and also on town bus services in Ballarat, Bendigo and Geelong.
"As an added bonus, two off-peak free travel vouchers will be provided to use on the metropolitan and V/Line transport network," Ms Kosky said.
"This will help around 160,000 Victorians who are on fixed incomes and may not use public transport regularly due to cost constraints."
