Anyone know if you can transfer funds between mykis? I accidentally put a month's funds on the wrong myki online (a broken one which I think I threw out a while ago...wish I'd taken its listing off the myki website). If you can't then it's going to be interesting trying to get it back...  :(

Actually I'm not sure if this is all correct. I know if I don't touch off my myki (I travel in zone 1) that it takes off the balance next time and also fines me a dollar.

 If you still have the number for the other myki then you can say you lost it and get the money back but otherwise I would just ring up and ask.

You can sort of transfer funds... I got a full-fare card and put $20 onto it, but then got a concession Myki through Monash. I asked the train-station guy to transfer the funds when he was 'creating' the concession Myki; he couldn't actually transfer the funds, but he took the balance of my old Myki and credited an equivalent amount to the new one.

On trains or trams? You're fine not to touch off on trams, but otherwise you need to touch off.

I've seen people skip the touch off for buses too and they didn't get deducted more than a dollar (probably cause it's within a zone or something). That said, last year and before that the system was severely stuffed and touching off on buses didn't register and I copped $5 off each time until I started touching off at the train station instead.
