Yay Getting a failki Options

[jutzy]

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

wellplayed madam. wellplayed.

Mid last year transport department had to do emergency work on the metcard readers, 40 - 45% were failing to read metcards.

Myki- overdue, overbudget! it will be a great system once they work all the kinks out.. like the fact that it takes many "touch" ons and offs to actualy read, not good when your getting on a packed tram after the footy!

AND they say that myki will be active on busses and trams within the next 3 months, they are working out the satalite issues. i dont beleve that, government officials part of the closed beta can use their miki on trams and buses. its just the fact that the readers are failing because of shit software design.

meh,

it will be great... once the software is fully functional
