Finaly decided to order a myki today, should be here within 7 working days ect.

Its gunna fail hard isnt it!

But the reasoning behind myki is that the old paper systems about to crap out, ive been on about 4-6 different busses and the ticket readers wernt working and the bus driver had to wave me on ( i suppose that its not a BAD thing)

Opinions on myki

Opinions on myki


actually I don't think that is the reason at all... They have introduced myki in order to compete with overseas markets... I'm almost sure that when the European train system was intoduced they had similar problems... We just didn't hear about it... And I doubt myki failures are the no 1 topic of intrest in other countries... I know for a fact that a new system was on the cards regardless of the current system (and FYI the current system works damn well) and it just happened to be myki that was chosen as it is modelled on larger countries systems. The problem with myki is that is was a poor design... The original develers were inexerienced and the first testing showed this leading to a complete overhaul of the original program and hence the massive blowout on the budget and massive time delays... Yes the system is flawed but it's a stepping stone into the future...
