The Victorian myki card problem highlights the fact that visitors to Melbourne and in fact each of the other capital cities, is in order to visit these cities and travel on their Public Transport Systems, we must buy a card that is not transferable between states or even within other regions of those states.
When we return home that card is thrown in a drawer and forgotten with a few dollars left and no easy way to cash it in.
In Queensland, our go-card is usable in the south-east region only but can’t be used in other regions of the state. Hence our go-card has not been used for a number of years by us as we are not residents of the south-east corner.
