One word (lol, the bolded one :P)

Import the designers/creators of Japans, Hong Kongs, and maybe even America's public transport system

Problem solved.

Metcards take too long to put into the machine. Myki would speed up the process of getting on.

It's probably more than that; they basically charge you the maximum possible fare (full fare, assumes maximum distance travelled etc.). But what if you just don't swipe on in the first place? Or do you have to swipe to get in (I have no idea how the gating works so excuse my ignorance).

The whole "swipe-off" is alright for trains, but what about trams? Those riding into the city for Uni would surely know how hard it is to get on/off, now if everyone has to cue up and hold a card to a machine to get on and off I can't see that working very well.

How will inspectors check if myki is valid?

Ticket inspectors will carry hand-held devices (similar to personal organisers) which they will use to check myki.

Oh God, I can picture their little hand helds getting Blue Screened. Checking a metcard was a lot easier.

Swiping on is a really fast process. The only congestion comes from people who attempt to find their ticket in a bag when on the bus.

When are we getting this myki anyway? I've sent it about 2-3 application forms (1 a year) along with a passport photo for each. Never got one.

2 interesting comments by H.S readers

1) So people will have to fight their way to a terminal on the tram TWICE each trip or be charged the maximum daily fare?

2) Swiping off will cause large delays at stations which have small exits. Particularly in the case where the exit is small and located near the driver. In this instance the driver will not be able to leave the station until they have a clear line of sight down the train. No doubt this will prove mighty frustrating experience!
