Completely missed the myki price rise. But I guess prices going up these days on just about everything is so regular that we barely bat an eyelid any more.

One of the most interesting things about this image is the change of term from "Touch" to "Tap". Thank goodness they didn't choose "swipe".

Speculation/educated guess: any day now they'll announce a #PublicTransport fare rise for January 2025, increasing the Zone 1+2 adult 2-hour fare from $5.30 to $5.50, and the daily cap from $10.60 to $11.00.
PT in #Melbourne and #Victoria is cheap for long distance trips, but pricey for short ones.

On the 901 from the Airport again. Saving $23.90 in the process. Skybus is a ripoff and the Allen government should be ashamed.

And in related plastic card news, Digital Drivers Licences appear to be live in the MyVicroads and Service Vic Apps :). Enjoy the slightly convoluted sign up process which will keep most people using the plastic card.
