The "new" Myki ticketing system is years behind schedule and has cost a mint at over 1.3 BILLION dollars. This news item aired in Channel 7 Melbourne mid 2008 and as of now (late Jan 2009) the system still has not been rolled out and there is no indication of when it will apart from a "trial" in Geelong - a small satellite city to the West of Melbourne.

  • OMFG what a load of shit! I cannot believe the government didn't go with an off the shelf system already up and running in London and Singapore.

  • Why the fuck should any government project go 'overbudget' surely the competing companies pushing this type of technology should tender for the project at a fixed cost and should it be finished late the government should be compensated on our behalf... FFS this is a slap in the face to the taxpayer from a shambolic government.

  • ha ha ha ha ha where the laughing stock of the world !!! :D

    I tried to get violently angry but the "Broki" system is so crappy I had to laugh. :D

  • Ashley Brient you are such a Labor stooge. Anyone who does a quick Google on your name can read all the biased crap you publish to other online talkback websites that are ALL pro Labor. I find it funny also that someone who is trying to promote their business, even if it does look very amateurish with links that don't work, call themselves "Homeboy Ash" on Facebook. LOL!
