@JacintaAllanMP @VictorianLabor @ptv_official I think the point of not having to scan your #myki card during April is a mistake. Just as introducing the Youth myki card, it won't encourage young people to get in the habit of scanning their myki. #springst #auspol #opinion
Getting on public transport and not having to worry about having a #myki feels so good. I wonder if people will get out of the habit of paying and start fare dodging at the end of April. #melbourne #Victoria
Myki reader displaying Tap Below
Free travel for a full month is new, but it’s been free on Christmas Day and NYE for decades. I’m surprised they have never found a way to indicate this on the #Myki card readers.
Thread post from moiradeemingmp about incorrect extra Myki charges. "Two train trips for the price of one. That's Labor's Victoria."
uh yeah Moira, you've got the supposed rort entirely backwards. #Myki #SpringSt
#Melbourne is definitely late to the Tap And Go party, but the reason they're trialling and testing is there are often hiccups along the way. Sydney's took 2+ years to roll out completely, and there were still reported issues. www.news.com.au/tech... #Myki

There’s usually a story behind warning signs. I wonder what it is for these. They’ve been popping up at a lot of gated railway stations. #Melbourne #Myki

Myki reader showing Mastercard and Visa options
Tap And Go options displayed on a #Myki reader yesterday. Seemed pretty responsive.
Good to be catching up at last with this option. It’ll make a big difference to new and occasional PT users, removing a significant point of friction. #Melbourne
#Myki Tap And Go public trial announced, starting on Upfield, Craigieburn, Seymour, Ballarat lines on Monday.
This quick video is from the test centre a few weeks ago: locked iPhone, tap with Express Mode works. Mastercard was correctly charged.
Will be great to have this rolled out!💳🚉😀👍

Looks like there's drama afoot.
Rhyno is having trouble fetching card balances, and we're looking into it.

Opinion: Ideology made myki impotent and left passengers out-of-pocket. Full article (paywall) https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/opinion/aaron-langmaid-ideology-made-myki-a-dumpster-fire-and-left-passengers-outofpocket/news-story/b21e7a2555e9b0cc61ed800836fdcd56
This HS opinion piece on the #Melbourne #Myki PT ticketing system is full of errors and misinformation, including misnaming Tap And Go as Tip And Go...
I'd also make the point that while the original 2009-2012 rollout was a disaster, there's very little of that version of the system left now.

Along with frequent reliable services, Tap-And-Go fare payment options are a key upgrade to help get new users onto public transport. No special #Myki card, no figuring out how much the fare is, or how to load it. Just use your existing bank card or phone. Good news that it's progressing.
From ten years ago: that time it was discovered the #Myki ticket system would sometimes pay you $1.52 to travel.
The new #Myki readers being rolled out to trams in #Melbourne seem like a huge improvement. But often mounted way too low to view the screen. I and several others had to stoop to see the display. There is a lip above the screen that hampers viewing.

An email from Public Transport Victoria advising me my mobile Myki card is expiring, and that if it has been used in the 3 months prior to the expiry it will be automatically extended for 2 years
Reminded again about how shit #myki system is. Why would my virtual Myki need to expire? Surely you should be able to simply extend the expiry based on usage at any time, not just in the last three months prior to the expiry?
Ever get to the station and realise you’ve forgotten something, or grabbed the wrong card? With additional pay-to-travel options coming to #Myki next year, this will be a thing of the past!
(Ah, memories of holidays in France)
Next gen #Myki readers being installed at Richmond station (north end, events entrance). Sensibly after the conclusion of the busy AFL finals season.

Hello, they're installing the new Myki readers on trams now too. So far I'd only seen them at train stations. This one was on a route 19 tram.

As a Sydneysider who loves buses and trains, I think 11yo Charlie's design for the 2026 Youth Myki card would make a great t-shirt. Maybe profits could go to his school? 🎨 #art #transport #springst #Myki
I don’t care when I die. As long as my myki is in negative balance I'll go in peace.

New yellow Myki card reader on station platform at Mordialloc
Surprised to see they installed new #Myki card readers at Mordialloc station, which will be demolished soon for rebuild. But then I read that it won’t happen until mid-2026, so it makes some sense.
Less logical is apparently the already-demolished platform 2 got them as well.
A screenshot of iOS Home Screen. It has two Rhyno widgets added. One, wide size, shows a “can travel” status with $65 on the card. The other, small size, shows $9.60 and “low balance”. The first widget is labelled “Main Myki card”. The second widget is labelled “kid’s Myki card”.
You can keep track of a few Myki card balances using Rhyno’s widgets.
Set and forget, then watch your balance tick over during the week as you travel.
