Myki and Ticket Inspectors

[costargh]

Has anyone had an experience with ticket inspectors and their Myki.

I know that there are plans to have myki readers that ticket inspectors carry around with them but I was under the impression that the technology was not yet available.

If this is the case then is there any way that they can check if your myki is valid? I'm referring to them checking tickets whilst on public transport as opposed to checking at a station. At a station they'd be able to check if they saw you not swiping off etc.

I heard of one person who was asked for a ticket and she showed her myki and they said we cant check that so you're ok.

So what's peoples thoughts?

I've seen a ticket inspector swipe someones myki in a thing they were carrying around. I don't know how many of them have it though.

[superflya]

yea theyve scanned my myki.

[costargh]

Oh ok. Better make sure I keep touching on and off then!

[Cthulhu]

Probably a good idea although an "I forgot" or "I didn't have time" might get you out of getting a ticket seeing as they're only new.

[superflya]

OR just be like I swiped at ***** I swear! This is bullshit! etc. etc.
You'll get off ..

Wow, I travel via train every day and I haven't seen such a thing - still just the normal "Can I please check your ticket?" ticket inspectors...

I think they'll start checking them more seriously when metcards are phased out.
