The major Myki change every Victorian needs to know about | 7NEWS

The fact is to validate a Myki tap exclusively with a credit card to go only on a full fare.

Seriously, this is a joke. No wonder Victoria is so broke. $1.7b to make us equal to other cities that have had this for decades. I repeat, decades. Singapore has had this since mid 2000s

Melbourne and Victoria is actually such a freaking joke
What an embarrassment to live there

Simply, I think they could follow what NSW did and use OPAL card system. OPAL card system is great and I have no disappointment so far.

It's only for full fare at the moment too

Other countries gave been using apps on phone etc for years😂 wtf australia😂😂😂

So what happens to myki inspectors?

Free for seniors anywhere in Vic on w/ends. Horray.

Must be so hard for a tourist trying to get on a tram or bus. No sorry you jave to go to a 7/11 or train station thats nowhere near the tram or bus stop. Sorry what? I csnt just buy a ticket on the tram/bus. We really are the dumb state in a dumber country

all it takes is a few skimmers and it’s game over

Great. Keep wasting money. Major infrastructure projects, upgrades, price increases, fines, when so many people in this state struggle with basic needs like food and rent. Myki is already a tap system. I wonder if they are already working on a proximity system that can sense your cards or phone in your pocket or handbag when you pass through the turnstile. No need to take any card or phone out and then tap.

Long overdue, it will be good to use debit card to pay. But the fact that Apple hasn’t ever had the digital myki like android is outrageous

Should be free!

Can cards still be used ?

Remember to use a re-loadable credit card.

It's a bloody disgrace this isn't in place already.

Should've just used the same opal system they use in sydney.

MYKI thing is unnecessary waste of $$ 1.5B 🥺could have used the proven system from Singapore and cheaper. 😢

Complex! We are 5 years behind the rest of the world. Myki has been a disgrace from day 1. Another example of incompetence from the state government

F our Gov for wasting our money

Id rather drive a v8 around

I’m 79 used the myki for year and have know idea what the hell the issue is I buy mine at 711 never had an issue and I use it all the time. Not using my credit card I dint want to be tracked even if I’m not doing anything wrong. Buggercthat.

Hackers will be rubbing their hands with glee ...cha Ching 💸

Just takes ya cash straight from ya phone or card, but you don't see how much or the balance they could steal more money then your fare ... with no refunds i bet

What about disability and concession fares? Let me guess....forgotten as usual

complex my ass.... omg if you can't do your job right just quit and let some other people to do it. less corruption and more efficient please.

Welcome once again tp the BEAST SYSTEM!! 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

Who get the 1.5 $ When the system is already there?

And we all know Labor will find a way to screw it up

Melbourne, used to be number one city; best place to live few years back, feels like history now. Thanks D Andrew’s and their successors… masterfully ruined the state

Finally another way for “them” to get into your phone

How about the old people don't have credit cards?

Train line to airport to be completed 2076. 😂

Perth, gold coast is already use it a long time.

And more charges on your credit cards

Grap government

What is wrong with using a Myki card?... not like it is a house brick, i dont get the fuss. I would rather leave my wallet and phone in my pockets.

what a great idea, line up with your credit cards out in Victoria!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Don't use yr credit cards

They upgraded it like 6 times failures fr

How dose this work for children? They don't have credit cards

who is in charge of budgeting this?? ALso what happens to concession card holders

Don’t know where they get their facts from…Adelaide rolled it out in April 23 and discontinued paper tickets in Jul 23, not mid 2025
