Myki under test in Melbourne

The Myki smartcard public transport ticketing system under test in Melbourne.

This video shows a station ticket machine being used to add value to a card, check the remaining balance and examine trip history. Also shown is validation on board a tram and the differences between touching on, touching off and an attempt to use an expired ticket.

Already installed on regional city buses, Myki will undego pilot testing before it becomes available to Melbourne train, tram and bus commuters. Until then Myki tickets are not valid for use in Melbourne and passengers require a valid Metcard to travel.




Also note that what you see here is a system under test and changes may be made by the time Myki is released for public use in Melbourne.

Video made 29 October 2009
