MetcardTicketing on the Broadmeadows Line
The Broadmeadows Line is part of the Melbourne suburban network, and uses the system standard Metcard tickets. There are 3 zones that are defined by the distance you are form the city.
Only a Zone 1 & 2 ticket is required for a journey along the entire line. You may travel as far as Glenroy ,from the city, on a Zone 1 ticket, and as far as Pascoe Vale, from Broadmeadows on a Zone 2 ticket.
The old punch, and scratch tickets operated the same way as the Metcard, only they were issued manually, and not by a machine. The old tickets designated Zone 1 as yellow, Zone 2 as Blue, and Zone 3 as Red, as they still are on the Zone map (right). The current metcards, simply print this information on the back.
