My first week's experience using Myki

Victoria (the state in which I live) has an electronic ticketing system called Myki (pronounced "My Key") which revolves around a proximity/RFID card which one can charge online or at dedicated terminals. The general idea is on all supported public transport services, one "touches on" with their card upon entering a ticketed area, and then "touches off" upon leaving said area.. at each point the system should advise if the process was successful and whether you're currently covered for the trip... They're still working out bugs, it seems.

The systems you'd think toll road providers would have down pat...

UPDATE: I got a response from Citylink...

I'm a user of the "Citylink" toll roads in Melbourne, Australia. They have a wonderful roadside assistance service for people who break down on the tollroad, but their accounting systems leave something to be desired.

Sometimes you just need somewhere to park between meetings without forking out for outrageous parking fees, but you don't want to unplug or cough up for 3G data charges; there are some down sides but overall, it's a nifty service if you take into account what you can or cannot do.
