延续Myki 的代价高达 7 亿

上周维州政府同意支付 7 亿澳币给 NTT 数据公司来延续 Myki 合约，NTT 数据为一家运行墨尔本 myki 火车、电车和巴士票务系统的公司。 双方延续的合约并无增添任何新功能给广大的 myki 用户们。

 

政府拒绝了 Cubic 公司的提案，Cubic 是英国伦敦鼎鼎有名票务系统 Oyster 与许多其他知名票务系统的管理公司，维州政府已拒绝採用 Cubic 管理模式来改革现有的 Myki 系统。

 

Myki 系统弊病百出是不争的事实，虽然近年来有做出一些修正，但无庸置疑的是 Myki 系统的稳定性、便利性等功能远逊色于他国大城市的票务系统。

 

因此对于维州票务系统的转型，对于墨尔本丧失一个让人耳目一新的机会，这样的结果总让人感到一丝丝遗憾。

 

Cubic 公司已和审计长控诉招标的流程，与此同时，自由党亦已要求审计长调查政府招标的过程有无问题，用以确保一切评估公正、公平与合法。

Government extends myki contract

 

The State government last week agreed to pay $700 million to continue the contract with NTT Data, the company that runs Melbourne’s myki train, tram and bus ticketing. The contract does not introduce any new features for myki users.

 

The government rejected a proposal by Cubic, the company that runs the London Oyster system and many other systems, to take over our ticket system.

 

This is despite the fact that the myki system has suffered from many problems. While improvements have been made in recent years, it still seems far worse than ticketing systems in other cities, yet the government rejected the opportunity to give Melbourne a better system.

 

The Liberal Party has asked the Auditor-General to investigate the retendering process. Cubic has also complained to the Auditor-General about how the re-tendering was conducted.
