Melbourne had a disposable ticket system in place for Myki - the tickets had already been made[1]. The Liberal government threw them out, wasting 15 million dollars in the process. And probably more on the equipment to dispense them. This is the same party that on a federal level threw out the nationwide fibre to the premises project, wasting 50 billion dollars on installing new DSL connections instead. I am actually being serious, they will be installing new DSL at a cost of 2400$ per premises until at least 2020.
