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

Yeah i got a Myki card when they were free because i figured I'd have to eventually and it was free!
I like the system so far on trains, Although I've had problems going to uni such as if i Touch on at Epping take the train to Flinders street, get a coffee then get on the next train and touch off at Camberwell i find when i touch it at Camberwell it touches on again? so i have to wait aroiudn 5 minutes to touch off again.
Also you cannot touch it through your wallet, i have to take my card out and hold it a certain way to get it to touch on first time every time.

Depends on the machine.
Some at Melb Central let me touch on/off through my wallet. Some don't. It just takes longer.
