How do I pay for trams, trains and buses in Melbourne?

I am visiting Melbourne and keep seeing references to myki and the Free Tram Zone. What should I check before my first journey?

    Tram travel wholly inside the Free Tram Zone does not need a tap. Once a tram journey goes beyond that zone, tap on as required. Trains and buses have their own tap rules, so check the current guidance rather than following old forum fare advice.
