Trams well the reliability of power supply has always been a problem, even with the current Metcard system and machines.

The Hun are only baying for her scalp because they have a hard-on for the Libs.

So it'll take seven days to spit out a card and mail it the few blocks to my place. Pretty pathetic. Though not as pathetic as the note that Bpay payments take five days to be processed! What is this, 1953? Handwritten personal cheques get processed faster than that. Bpay does not take that long. And it doesn't take a week to automatically encode and spit out an RFID card.

has anyone ordered one under Lynne Kosky's name yet?

Can't find the terms and conditions - but does it say up to seven days or seven days?

In Geelong, they seem to switch off when the driver turn the bus off, and turn on when the the bus is started up.

There's 20 stations in all that are sans CVM.

Ashburton, Bayswater, Berwick, Box Hill, Frankston, Glen Waverley, Heidelberg, Hurstbridge, Jolimont, Laburnum, Lilydale, Narre Warren, Pakenham, Ringwood, Ringwood East, Sandringham, South Yarra, Thomastown, Upper Ferntree Gully and Watsonia.

I'm advising customer to NOT to move to Myki until trams and buses come online, AND their "home station" has the CVMs in.

Then it is asre-covering.  Worked at That Bank where the call-centre staff were told that, however they turned up a lot more quickly.   Usually when people complained about that, we'd tell the staff to tell the customer that if it hasn't arrived in 7 working days, that they should ring us as that's the outside limit.

Bit different from buses in Switzerland that turn the motor off at every red light just to be environmentally sound. We can never catch up.

At work today (yarra trams) saw a 'myki' bulletin that said that myki on the trams will be fully operational by 'winter' and that staff training would begin in a couple of months 'once a few of the bugs have been ironed out'.

Nice one, kosky.

Machines go in myki muddle
NOW you see them, now you don't. Myki card vending machines that cost tens of thousands of dollars to install have been removed from Nunawading train station - without the public ever using them.

So Ms Lynne Kosky, what's your next big move?
Ms Kosky answered the Herald Sun's questions about the first days of myki, which is almost three years late. Its cost has blown out to $1.35 billion, $350 million over budget.
The member for Altona said she did not regret how myki had been introduced

Myki mayhemTHE myki debacle continues to roll on.Public Transport Minister Lynne Kosky has admitted that just like hundreds of other users she has encountered problems on the myki website.Just hours after the system's partial "train only" launch this week, more than 100 commuters were told they would be charged for their "free" smartcards.

Passport denied for public transportFEW things seem as difficult for governments in this country to achieve as implementing new transport ticketing systems.NSW has given up on a combined smartcard for now and Victoria's troubled myki system has proved no exception.This week's promised start-up turned into a fiasco, not all that surprising given the chequered history of the project.

In Geelong, they seem to switch off when the driver turn the bus off, and turn on when the the bus is started up.

Do they?  That seems surprising.  That means that the bus needs to idle all the time at a terminus just for the Myki to work.

This has always been the plan with myki not being fully operational on trams until stage 3 of the roll out which is due mid 2010 or by winter.
