The one thing that gets my goat about myki is that you can't recharge on a bus or a tram.

Maybe it's just me though, I take 2 busses to work, along warrigal road and changing at south road up towards moorabin oval. Say I was to run out of money after touching off my first bus, It's not like a metcard where you can just buy a daily, you're pretty much dudded.

The vast majority of drivers will still let you ride, but I still reckon it's a flaw in the system, especially in the outer suburbs

I am enjoying them both very much so.
I think it's just a debate that will rage on forever, and it's one I find interesting.
i do agree it's a good debate topic, but it does really lead to a lot of fan boys for one or the other who completely disregard the others accomplishments and trash them at will all over you tube etc.

I like Myki more than Metcard. Metcards always confused my Geelong brain whenever I went to Melbourne.
How could it possibly confuse you? It was the simplest system ever.
Zone 1,2,3 (later just 1+2): Nicely colour coded on the maps on every train/tram
2 hour or daily (either for 2 hours, or the whole day).
Works on everything.

Other than a system where everyone is just taxed a certain amount and all PT is free I couldn't think of a simpler system.

It's just so different to down here. You wouldn't understand :p.

Tapas restaurants are bloody awful and are nothing but a pyramid scheme to pass off crappy bite-size food as "foreign cuisine"
The last batman film series was rubbish
Channel 7 is a good TV channel
Frankston isn't as bad as people say it is
Julia Gillard is attractive

I've got heaps of these, want me to read out some more?
