Ratings and Reviews
No phone tap on transport
The app works for what it does, but you should be able to tap your phone on transport
Worst public transport system
Compared to public transport systems in NSW and QLD, the VIC public transportation system is ridiculous and much too complicated than it should be. Rides are so expensive! The most expensive in the country! The Myki cards are a waste of plastic. If I can scan the Myki card with my phone, why can’t I scan my phone to pay on the bus/tram. The app is terrible, always glitching out, won’t let me create an account. Won’t scan the Myki card anymore. Overall so terrible and frustrating!!
Tourist Use of App Possible?
Bottom Line. Suggest you make it clear and prominent this app will not work without an Australian telephone number and address.
It does not appear to be possible for a foreigner (tourist) to use this app. Can’t get past the login registration screen as it errors without an Australian telephone number and address.
Attempted to make a suggestion that this be made clear and prominent in the app information section. Alas, using your contact page encountered the same issue with your web form.
Regardless, the PT card itself works great and Google Maps and Apple Maps work satisfactorily for transit navigation.
