Myki Alternative Paywave Full Implementation not until 2028

[serfty]

In a Grand Final week press conference headlined by some other announcements yesterday it was revealed that credit/debit card contactless public transport fareing would not be fully implemented until 2028.

It won't be until next year when it will be available on some trains.

At least you can use Mobile Myki on Android. Tough luck if you use iOS though.

Have physical card - will travel….

I might be coming up to a “pensioner” card soon….$3 still worth it!

This made me genuinely lol.

It'll be quite the competition between Myki and the QF Int'l J lounge in SYD to see who can hold out the longest before actually doing something.

I guess the Myki vendors are hanging on as long as they can.

It is a joke, given that, for example, in Chicago such has been available for maybe a decade.
