	Sir Alfred Metcard - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		It is thought by some that the noise and bluster caused by such a large man forcing himself along kilometres of ground with a large plank he used to crush anything in his path was one of the earliest contributors to the bunyip myth.
		Metcard succeeded in his desire to lay out the entire rail system, and Melbourne's rail network still runs along more or less the same path today, some two hundred years later.
		Metcard died shortly after his one-hundred-and-first birthday, seemingly stabbed to death in an argument over his proposal to build a widespread rail network in what is now New Guinea.

	PTUA: Frequently Asked Questions - Public Transport Ticketing
		The current Metcard system seems to have been deliberately designed to make it hard to buy a ticket and easy to travel without one.
		Contactless Metcards have actually been on issue to public transport staff for some time, but are not available to passengers due to the high cost of the ticket media.
		If Metcard tickets are eventually replaced it must be with a cost-effective alternative that coexists with staff and is easy for both regular and casual passengers to use.

		For the Metcard machine: What you (as user) have to do is press the various buttons to specify what kind of ticket you want to purchase, and then insert a sufficient amount of money into the coin slot, take your ticket, and collect your change if any.
		: If you know something about how the Metcard system works, then you’ll know that specifying what kind of ticket, 2-hour, daily, short-trip, etc., is part of what the machine needs to be told, and will therefore connect this action with achieving your goal of buying a ticket.
		Also, with a Metcard machine, the interface is to some extent limited by the requirement that it be very robust against vandalism.

	Myth: Smartcards will encourage use and reduce fare evasion
		Ever since its installation at great cost ten years ago it has been plagued by machine failures, tickets that suddenly stop working and force patrons to jump through bureaucratic hoops to rectify, and a culture of rampant fare evasion that is estimated to cost the system $50 million a year.
		But this is all a bit beside the point when you consider that for around half the cost, we could return conductors to almost all trams and staff to all stations.
		One of the most hated aspects of the Metcard system was the requirement that a ticket that had already been paid for and date-stamped had to be revalidated through a machine every time a passenger changed vehicles.

	Seasons Travel » Blog Archive » HowTo: Cheating the Melbourne Metcard System
		When you use any of the bus services in Melbourne that support metcards you only validate once when you get on, this validation does not tell the bus driver what zone your ticket is good for, only if it is allowed in the zone you are getting on at.
		If you buy a monthly or weekly metcard then the period it is valid for starts when you first validate the ticket.
		If you are travelling by tram it is possible to buy a ticket before you get on but only validate it at the last minute once the met police board the tram to check every one’s tickets.
