Information has been obtained by corpau from within the
industry that the operators of Melbourne’s public transport ticketing system ‘Myki’
(pronounced - my key) are responsible for defrauding their customers.
The corporate media, which is an official government propaganda
tool, is very quick to run stories of how consumers are evading the ‘controversial’
ticketing system, but are very slow to report fraud of the other direction.
The ‘controversial’ ticketing system is plagued with
technical difficulties, over budget (read 'Money for Mates’), corruption and
underperformance just to name a few.
Melbourne’s public transport system previously had a perfectly
adequate working system, that of a card with a magnetic strip.
In accordance
with ‘secret’ government agendas to monitor the masses, from all aspects, the ‘Myki’
system was introduced which monitors the card holder in real time.
The propaganda machine kicks in to illustrate the benefits
to the consumer, but in reality, they are negligible, compared to the data which
is obtained by authorities.
Authorities ‘illegally’ spy on registered ticket holders,
and even if one is not registered, one is caught on camera, and monitored
accordingly.
The way the operator is committing fraud against the
customer is that a customer must swipe the card upon entry to a public
transport system service, then swipe when exiting the service. Once this is
done an appropriate amount is deducted from the account holder.
When a card reader is offline, there is no way of the system
knowing when the user has finished their journey. Instead of the user being debited
for that journey, an amount is debited as if the journey was taken to the end
of the line.
The operators are fully aware of this fact, including their
ticketing inspectors, but still support this fraud.
