  • TTF Smartcard Ticketing on Public Transport 2010
    Tourism & Transport Forum (TTF) Position Paper Smartcard ticketing on public transport July 2010 Tourism & Transport Forum (TTF) is a national, Member‐funded CEO forum, advocating the public policy interests of the 200 most prestigious corporations and institutions in the Australian tourism, transport, aviation & investment sectors. CONTENTS OVERVIEW 2 SMARTCARD TECHNOLOGY 3 ADVANTAGES OF SMARTCARD TICKETING 3 CHALLENGES FOR IMPLEMENTATION 6 SMARTCARD TICKETING IN AUSTRALIA 8 SMARTCARD TICKETING INTERNATIONALLY 10 INNOVATION IN SMARTCARD TECHNOLOGY 12 LOOKING AHEAD 14 CONCLUDING REMARKS 14 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT: CAROLINE WILKIE NATIONAL MANAGER, AVIATION & TRANSPORT TOURISM & TRANSPORT FORUM (TTF) P | 02 9240 2000 E | [email protected] www.ttf.org.au In short: 1. Smartcard ticketing provides convenience for commuters and efficiency gains for transport service providers. 2. Smartcard systems have been introduced in Australian cities with varying degrees of success. 3. International experience suggests that successful implementation may take many years, and difficulties are commonplace. 4. Overall, the benefits of smartcard ticketing overwhelmingly outweigh the costs and challenges that may arise in implementation. Overview Smartcard technology is being implemented around the world as a substitute for cash transactions in various capacities. When applied to public transport fare collection, smartcards eliminate the need for commuters to queue for tickets and reduce the burden on transport providers to process fare transactions. In recent years, benefits such as decreased travel times and general convenience to commuters have driven a shift towards smartcard ticketing systems on public transport systems in Australia and around the world. As well as providing more efficient transport services to commuters, smartcard ticketing systems enable service providers and transit authorities to collect comprehensive data on the travel behaviour of commuters.

  • Getting My Tram Ticket
    ® Getting my tram ticket Department of Transport Images taken before the COVID-19 pandemic, you must wear a face mask while travelling on public transport. 2 Many people use trams to travel in Melbourne. I might take a tram to go somewhere. Some tram stops in Melbourne’s city centre are in an area called the Free Tram Zone. People do not need a ticket to travel between tram stops in this area. 3 People know which stops are in the Free Tram Zone by looking at the route maps, looking at the signs at the stop or by asking Yarra Trams staff. Outside of the Free Tram Zone, it’s important that everyone has a ticket to travel on the tram. 4 There are several types of tickets. Before I catch the tram, I choose the right type of ticket for me. Most people use a ticket called a myki. 5 mykis can be bought from Public Transport Victoria (PTV) Hubs and some myki machines. People also buy them at some shops like 7-Eleven. mykis can also be used on an android phone. This is called Mobile myki. 6 The cost of travel on my myki is called the fare. I can check the fares on the PTV website. I need to put money onto a myki to travel on the tram. This is called topping up my myki. I could do this at a myki machine, PTV Hub or online at ptv.vic.gov.au. 7 Trams have a myki reader near each door. They can look different depending on the tram.

  • Building a Train Network for the Future.Pdf Pdf 219.86 KB
    Tuesday, 1 December 2020 BUILDING A TRAIN NETWORK FOR THE FUTURE Victorian passengers will benefit from an extra 450 train services every week under a timetable redesign which will boost capacity and seize the benefits of the Victorian Government’s major transport infrastructure projects. Minister for Public Transport Ben Carroll today announced that an extra 280 new metropolitan train services and 170 regional services will be added to the network each week from 31 January 2021, giving Victorians more options on their journeys and providing more space for physical distancing. The coronavirus pandemic has dramatically changed the way Victorians use public transport, and with more people now moving around the state, these services will help reduce crowding. The new timetable will deliver more trains during the peak on many regional lines, and greater frequency around the peak in metropolitan Melbourne – increasing trains during busy morning and afternoon periods to encourage passengers to stagger their weekday travel. To make it easier for metropolitan passengers to travel during quieter times and physically distance as Victoria recovers from the coronavirus pandemic, off-peak fares will be discounted for three months. From 31 January 2021, anyone using myki money between 9.30am and 4pm or after 7pm on weekdays will receive a 30 per cent discount. The community will experience the benefits of the Government’s major transport projects like the Ballarat Line Upgrade and Cranbourne/Pakenham Line Upgrades – with dramatically increased regional frequency and bigger, better metropolitan trains entering service. The Ballarat Line Upgrade will be complete once the new timetable begins – adding an additional 125 new services each week to deliver 20-minute frequency during busy morning and afternoon periods and 40 minutes in the off- peak.

  • 20150610-Myki-Presentation.Pdf
    The Auditor-General provides assurance to Parliament on the accountability and performance of the Victorian Public Sector. The Auditor-General conducts financial audits and performance audits, and reports on the results of these audits to Parliament. On 10 June 2015, the Auditor-General tabled his performance audit report, Operational Effectiveness of the myki Ticketing System. 1 An effective ticketing system is crucial for Victoria's public transport system. In 2005, the state committed almost $1 billion to develop the myki smartcard ticketing system by 2007 to replace the ageing Metcard system and operate myki for 10 years. We found that myki experienced significant delays and cost increases due largely to deficiencies in the original governance and contractual arrangements. This has resulted in a poor outcome for Victoria’s public transport system and users, which has compromised achievement of myki’s original business case objectives and related benefits. Public Transport Victoria’s establishment in April 2012 has improved myki’s governance and contractual arrangements. However significant risks to the state remain. PTV needs to urgently address these issues to avoid perpetuating past mistakes, and to optimise value from the state’s significant ongoing expenditure. 2 We assessed the operational effectiveness of the myki ticketing system by examining: • myki’s governance and contractual arrangements • if myki’s expected outcomes and benefits have been, or are on track to being, achieved. We also examined the planning for the retender of myki's ongoing operation. The audit focused on PTV. It also included the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources (DEDJTR) and The Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF) 3 Just over half of myki's almost $1 billion initial budget—around $520 million—was for establishing the system by 2007 and operating it for 10 years.
