I mean myki price will always go up each year but the fact that stuff are being build and we have replacements buses… they shouldn’t raise the price. Perhaps they need money to continue. I heard Victoria is in really bad debt. The highest in Australia, I think from back in lockdown

Yeh it's just not a happy situation for anyone (except maybe the constructive companies). It really stings when you are paying for a degraded service. I feel like for some of the roadworks the benefits are barely noticeable for the commuters too but oh well it be like that sometimes.

Not to mention this increase is happening with the whole inflation. Feels like bad timing
