There shouldn't be canada goose outlet parka any reason canada goose outlet in usa why people couldn't tag on to enter the platform without incurring a charge. They've already incurred a fare to reach Spencer Street station.
If you use a Cityrail return ticket or a bus or tram ticket, your movement around Sydney terminal may be restricted in a way that it isn't with a multi modal time based ticket/fare.
If you did want barriers at the Spencer Street terminal, you'd want them positioned such that they don't interfere with movement of vehicles like the buggies carrying luggage. It would also be nice if there was a way for people to get from suburban platforms without exiting a paid area and entering another one.
LAST year I canada goose outlet canada goose outlet contacted myki's website about using periodical (weekly, monthly, yearly) tickets on its canada goose uk outlet system. Instead of replying to my question, it was recommended I get a myki "pass". Recently the Seniors Travel Guide was distributed with no mention of the monthly concession ticket my ticket of choice.
I wrote to Public Transport Minister Lynne Kosky. While her office did not admit to phasing out periodicals, it acknowledged they would be downgraded. From January 1, periodical tickets will only be valid during weekends in the zone for which they were purchased not both zones 1 and 2, as at present. My question about whether any mooted changes were a result of myki was https://www.nationaalzweminstituuteindhoven.nl left unanswered. It would seem that because of myki, travellers will lose long established entitlements.
I would like the Government to be open about what other "improvements" are being introduced with myki, to the detriment of travellers. I fear that no one will benefit from its introduction except the operators.
Jan Lacey, North MelbourneI STILL haven't figured out what Canada Goose Jackets is wrong with the Metcard system and I distinctly remember the fiasco when that was introduced. Unfortunately, new ministers have this desire to leave their mark, so feel they have to "change" something. Instead of introducing desperately needed new rolling stock, extending the network and duplicating lines, what does the minister do? She introduces a ticketing system that we neither need nor want. Lynne, it's called "priorities".

The Oyster card, seemingly similar to the myki system that Melbourne is still trying to reinvent, can handle nine travel zones (Melbourne has only two) and can be used on canada goose outlet reviews five forms of transport (Melbourne has three), buses, underground trains, overground trains, trams canada goose outlet toronto factory and a light rail network.
The Oyster card copes with single journeys, peak and off peak "caps", daily, weekly and season tickets apparently without problems.
The Oyster card is but one of several broadly similar ticketing systems in use around the world. This Myki Mouse ticketing farce is already costing almost twice the projected cost of the 29 kilometre Frankston canada goose bypass. How much longer are the Government and Transport Ministry going to be taken for a ride on this myki system? Myki should be stopped before another cent is wasted on this buy canada goose jacket cheap hopeless project.
Bob Eden, North MelbourneIT IS obvious the canadian goose jacket Brumby Government has been asleep at the canada goose outlet online controls of transport policy.
It has been revealed that a number of 35 year old Hitachi trains put into retirement some years ago have been brought back into service. Seven of those trains have been found to contain rust, and for the safety of passengers they have been canada goose outlet jackets shunted off for a $2 million refit.
In the meantime, we are told that 8000 canada goose coats on sale seats are to be ripped out of trains to increase standing room, which will increase the squeeze for passengers. And we have summer coming on!
It seems Comrade Kosky's transport policy is as rusty as those seven Hitachi trains.
The Oyster card, seemingly similar to the myki system that Melbourne is still trying to reinvent, can handle nine travel zones (Melbourne has only two) and can be used on five forms of transport (Melbourne has three), buses, underground trains, overground trains, trams and a light rail network.
Except its for the whole of Victoria, there are a lot more than 9 zones! For suburban tram, train, bus, vline train, regional bus, vline coach. 6 modes and a lot more modes.
Myki should be stopped before another cent is wasted on this hopeless project.
Hopeless? But Canada Goose sale you just said Oyster and several other simmilar canada goose outlet systems work without problems! You just gave hope! Your arguments make canada goose jacket outlet no sense Mr Eden.
Oyster Card and Travelcard holders may use their tickets for reduced fares on the London riverbus (ferry) services operated under the TfL banner. These canada goose outlet shop are generally medium distance services aimed as much at tourists as the commuter market, such as between the central London piers and Greenwich.
The Woolwich ferry (cross river) service remains free as it always has been for both vehicles and foot passengers and is one of very few free ferry services in the world today.
Oyster Card is valid therefore on a sixth mode albeit that a small cash fare has to be paid as well.
Oyster has not been without problems. It has failed to recognise caps and TfL has been obliged to artificially manage a fares cap for account holders. It has not been widely accepted by main line rail operators as they official canada goose outlet were required to fund the hardware necessary however this is being addressed and it is now much more widely accepted. In consequence it is also now more widely used.
It has taken quite Canada Goose Outlet some time for the Myki fiasco to really be presented to the media and the public as it is now. The projected system cost escalates by millions of dollars every time a new report is published and is now said canada goose outlet nyc to be costing us well on the way to $1.5bn.
It might be cheaper to simply offer everyone free travel as the Government is now faced with a bill just to collect revenue which may exceed the total revenue collected! Free travel is a whole new ball game with issues around behaviour, compliance and civility arising if the system becomes a free for all. That and the sudden manic surge to the already overloaded networks which would then grind to a halt under the weight of the task.
