Brabochokemightwork on January 23, 2026 7:54 am *Public Transport: Hey I got an idea let’s test the tap and go payments in the most rural/country of Melbourne to test whether if it works or not.* It does work!!! Why are we the last state to adopt this concept

TotherCanvas249 on January 23, 2026 8:12 am Legit q: if u tap on ur bank card, how do u prove it to the inspectors?
aksteriksis on January 23, 2026 8:30 am What if I had both a Myki and a credit card on my phone? Would suck if the credit card got charged instead of, say, a Myki daily pass.
AnonWhale on January 23, 2026 8:38 am How many hundreds of millions were spent on the myki contact again? When it would have been cheaper just to make public transport free for everyone.
MagicalSausage on January 23, 2026 9:32 am Due to our new machines that require additional energy and resources to accept bank cards, we will be raising ours fares to $6.50 and $13 /s

VectorNine443 on January 23, 2026 9:34 am If you have a concession myki as well as a debit card on your google pay which will it choose?
