Although the major $1.35 Billion Myki ticketing system is currently being used across Melbourne, the system seems to be in trouble as only a fraction of computers can actually use the "incomplete smartcards", which was supposedly launched in a hurry by the Government to save itself from further embarrassment.

On Tuesday, at about 3pm AEDT, the Myki system was deemed as operational on Melbourne trains, which enabled travelers to register for a rechargeable swipe card online.

Trams, buses and multi-modal commuters, who make up for about 80% of public transport users, are still waiting for the service to be introduced for them, and it seems it will be a bit longer before they can enjoy the perks.

Public Transport Minister Lynne Kosky has declined to give a timeline for the launch. "I don't want to give a date, suffice to say that we have a very good system that's now on the train network and it will be rolled out soon through the tram and bus network", she said.

Ms. Kosky also shared that hitches have remained in the system and it is not god enough right now for a complete roll out.

The $1.35 Billion Myki project has, so far, turned out to be a problem for the Government. It has come almost 3 years behind schedule and is $350 Million over the budget.
