Information for cruise ship passengers at the route 109 terminus in Port Melbourne

Ticketing information consists of 'You can't buy a ticket here - try these places instead!'

'Tickets (purchase at cafe)' sign at the Port Melbourne route 109 terminus

Why don't they just install a bloody Myki machine here?

New PTV branded Myki information onboard trams

Notice that the Myki brand has disappeared except for name, and a touch of green.

Drive through Myki machine!

At Tyabb station, where the car park backs onto the platform

'Tag off reader other side' notice at the entrance to platform 1 at Southern Cross

With V/Line running bus replacements and no Myki readers in the coach terminal, presumably passenger are being sent here to touch off

A clean looking Myki reader at Corio station

Clean from lack of use, or because it is a replacement after the last one was vandalised?

Timber box replaces the Myki ticket machine at Corio, presumably due to vandalism

Vandalised Myki ticket machine at North Shore station, with three holes smashed in the touch screen

Also the note receptor is out of use due to vandalism!

Barrier staff for the country platforms at Southern Cross Station have now been moved to the far end of the gate array

Possibly they got moved to an out-of-the-way place so they could focus on letting passengers with paper tickets through, instead of having to answer general passenger queries?

Cardboard 'You must touch on every time you board' signs affixed to the country barriers at Southern Cross Station

Attempting to use a Myki on a 北京市政交通一卡通 reader on the Beijing Metro

Unsurprisingly the 'Invalid card' message from the reader appeared quicker than trying to use Myki on an actual reader

Note acceptor removed from a Myki machine due to vandalism

The entire note acceptor is removed, and replaced by a temporary blanking plate

Myki reader with the blue Myki logo rubbed off, replaced by a target drawn on with texta

Year-old 'Myki is the only ticket you can use from 29th December' still in place on a Transdev bus

29th December *2012* is when the sticker refers to!

'Reset default fare' message after a V/Line conductor checked the myki

Unofficial 'This terminal is for Myki card information only' message on a Myki check machine

The blue colour is the only difference between it and a normal Myki reader

'Paper tickets only' sign beside the entrance to the country platforms at Southern Cross

Myki stickers on the brand new E class trams

'Touch off and on' indicates a default fare has been charged

A default fare occurs when you don't touch off after making a trip - in the case of a zone 1+2 passenger, or someone using a Myki pass, the default fare is the same as the fare you were supposed to pay

Unused mounting points for Myki equipment aboard V/Line liveried urban bus 6982AO at Castlemaine station

Originally Myki was going to be rolled out to the entire V/Line network. But there was a change of government in 2010 and incoming premier Ted Baillieu decided to cut the scope of the V/Line rollout to just the commuter belt around Melbourne.
