Adjournment

Myki ticketing system


Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL

Myki ticketing system

Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL (Northern Victoria) (18:21): (1095) My adjournment matter today is for the Minister for Public and Active Transport in the other place. In May 2023 the then public transport minister announced changes to the Myki system, which included introducing the system to regional stations such as Swan Hill, Echuca, Albury – noting that Albury is listed on our V/Line system – and Shepparton in my electorate of Northern Victoria. These were supposed to commence in 2024. Currently travellers on these lines must obtain a paper ticket from the ticket office at the station. This is inconvenient and can be frustrating if tickets are lost, misplaced or damaged. The action I seek from the minister is for northern Victorians to be updated on when these Myki changes will be implemented at regional stations.
