Hmm the few times Iâve used them theyâve been really quick and easy. I anticipate the barcode/QR camera or card payment for entry are going to be a colossal disaster though.

Why are the new Myki readers so awful? Iâd argue them to be worse than even the first-generation readers with a bad read.
The entire device basically gets locked out on a bad read for about a minute. If your Myki doesnât read properly, or your phone is acting up, a few retries could lock out a big chunk of the ststion gates.

Theyâre nice when they work. Problem is when they donât.

The whole myki contract from the first machines has been a clusterfuck awarded to the lowest bidder.
I worked for a place ages ago that had put in a bid for a decent system but the government wanted to save cash.

To think we could have almost had the Octopus system Hong Kong uses.
