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

LOL No argument required. I would only like you to clarify one thing.. if the system is about to shit itself why are they implementing a system that has been in the works for the last 8 years? 6 years on myki and 2 year R&D beforehand... which FYI was only 5 years AFTER metcard was introduces... From my experience, systems that are about to "shit themselves" often don't keep lasting for another 8 years...

Congrats on your uncle working the transport department, my dad was the project manager on the rebuild of myki. Name dropping doesn't really get you very far.
