With my car presently out of action, I decided to log in and check my account to see if everything was in order. I saw a lot of "default fares" (the system charges the maximum fare if you don't "touch off" on everything except non Zone 1 tram services)...

I'm curious to know why I've copped a default fare at the City station even though I always used Myki enabled gates to get to the platform before I depart. I suspect it's because the gates I use on my home trip are old and a dodgy, half-enabled retrofit's been done (unlike normal Myki gates, they only say "CSC PASS" instead of "Touch on/off successful"). Anyway, I've lodged a query with Transport Ticketing Authority - will be interesting to see what their response is.
The default touch offs correspond to the previous tram touch ons. As you touch on at the station, you receive a simultaneous default touch off. This is normal and will occur every time you don't touch off, you will receive a default touch off the next time you touch on. This can even be the next day.
ReplyDelete... so I should or shouldn't be touching off on a Zone 1 tram service?
