Victoria's Transport Ticketing Authority has confirmed the state's new Myki public transport smart card system has suffered errors that caused passengers to be overcharged a total of 10,800 times over the past few months.
Melbourne public transport users could be slugged more than the cost of their fare if they fail to "swipe off" under the new electronic ticketing system, it was revealed this week.
Victoria is preparing for the roll-out of its new myki smart card in Melbourne after introducing the system to regional areas around the capital.
The introduction of a new public transport smartcard for Melbourne will cost more than AU$1 billion, and is running 15 months behind schedule according to a report, but the Victorian government will persist with the project.
As the NSW government looks to go after some AU$90 million from the ERG Group over the state's cancelled Tcard project, ERG says there's only AU$17 million at stake.
