    This really should be automatically applied to Mykis, rather than forcing people to go through a Kafkaesque bureaucrats wet dream.

      They're taking the myki?

      Come to Sydney, where the train network is cut by 75% and we're still expected to pay full price. Or Sydney Metro where if there's trackwork you're expected to pay full price for buses that rarely come and take far longer.

      Agree it should be auto applied but hey at least the thought is there.

        During my time in sydney back in 2017, Train replacement buses used to be just on time most of the time, there was no charge when you board a replacement bus, or simply say it was free. Metro service was much more reliable with little cancellations and no last minute f#%^* up with platform number.
        I've seen PTV metro faring much worse comparatively.
        Bus service too was much better in sydney. No missed runs, buses were on time. Here, buses miss their run and you end up getting half an hour late to your destination for no fault of yours. Excuse given by service representatives of that bus service: bus could be stuck in traffic. This happens around mid day in hoppers crossing on the route from station towards Wyndham Village shopping centre. It's surprising how you can see traffic on morris road around midday.

        Difference of service is evident with sydney metro rating at 3.4/5 while melbourne metro at a dismal 1.7/5, which still looks too much for melbourne metro. I'm by opinion it should be somewhere 0.5/5

          Ok to be fair, I've only used Melbourne's transportation for about a week there but in my experience it worked alright. Don't understand the trams though, stations every 200m I swear and super slow.

          For regular Sydney trains network replacement buses there's no charge but Sydney Metro do.

          Buses in Sydney are shocking if it's a busy area. "A bus every 10 minutes" turns into no buses for half an hour and then 3 in 2 minutes. Quite a few being cancelled these days as I suspect they just don't have the amount of drivers. Thankfully, those on less frequent times (once every 30/60 minutes) don't have to suffer cancellations anywhere near as much.

            Don't understand the trams though, stations every 200m I swear and super slow.

            Better than people in cars, or worse, being forced to own a car.

              @Techie4066: Don't get me wrong, definitely better than those options but I found it was quicker getting a train and then walking or a bus? Even a bike would likely be quicker.

              I suppose the convenience factor of "train station is 10 mins walk but tram is just around the corner" wins.

      Myki contract with NTT Data will end in 2023
      and all the current wireless card reader are still using Telstra 3G network, which will be shut down in 2024

      Dan government said they are looking for operator that will use credit card as next gen transportation card
      and by then will allow iOS users to tab via apple wallet

    "SORRY, YOUR CLAIM DOES NOT MEET THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA"
    "Please accept as compensation the equivalent of one daily myki fare, which has been applied to your myki pass. Crediting your myki takes up to 10 business days to process, with the funds then available when you next touch on."

    In all honesty, I actually really like it when our trains are dead late as long as they give compensation. I've been to many Asian countries and each had great affordable metro that just ran on time but it wasn't until I visited Japan that I had a change of mind. The types of people who value punctuality in that country have absolutely made people's lives a dogturd nightmare. I would never want to live in a country that punctuality is so well followed that you are not just a number but your life is of a numbered robot.

    As far as I'm concerned whomever initiated these punctuality values should be immediately shot for making Japan's suicide rate so high. When I came back to Australia, I was genuinely glad when my train ran 12 minutes late and neither the station staff or the driver gave a shit about it.

      If you can't be punctual then how reliable or dependable are you? Actions speak volume and you will be judged by how you act. When you supply a public service to your people, you better get the shit right or gtfo, dont you think?
