when V/Line railway tickets sold to Geelong, South Geelong, and Marshall railway stations started including GTS travel for no extra cost, and when daily and weekly tickets were made available in 2008. Five types of tickets existed at the time the system was replaced: McHarry's bus issue: old style paper ticket Benders bus issue: thermally printed paper ticket Preprinted: paper ticket on which the valid date was clipped out V/Line rail ticket: standard V/Line thermal ticket with GTS code marked on it V/Line rail ticket: standard V/Line conductor issued ticket with GTS code marked on it The myki smartcard ticketing system was introduced on four Geelong bus routes in December 2008, and on 2 March 2009 all Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula bus routes were switched to myki. Short-term myki tickets were sold on Geelong buses until their use was discontinued in April 2013, in line with state government policy not to introduce them in Melbourne when its public transport system was switched to myki. Until myki became the only valid ticket for V/Line "commuter" services, V/Line paper tickets could be used for bus travel to or from Geelong area railway stations, with no extra charge. The fare concession continued after myki was introduced on V/Line services. References External links McHarry's: Geelong Transit System Benders Busways Transport in Geelong
