Commuters frustrated by long queues waiting to top up their myki are set for a win as Public Transport Victoria prepares to introduce tap-and-go payment technology.

The contactless credit-card payment option, which has become hugely popular with Australian shoppers, is set to cut down glacial top-up speeds at stations and stops around the state.

The vending machines will also get a spruce-up in the form of a new user interface and accessibility improvements, with glare-proof screens on selected machines and updated Braille.

Some stations already have the technology as the upgrades are made progressively throughout 2016, with PTV claiming there will be minimal impact on machine availability for passengers.
