Millions of dollars are sitting on go cards that have expired after years of inactivity, with Translink urging commuters to get a refund as the network transitions to smart ticketing.
I’m from melb but I get it. I remembered I had a Myki with 15 or so bucks on it I lost and blocked a couple of years ago which expired earlier this year. They let me spend 15 minutes on the form with a bajillion different errors along the way before I finally got to the end just for it to say I couldn’t refund an expired Myki (which I always thought was basically the whole point of the refund form…)
Considering public transportation is meant to be a public service, they hold onto the few measly dollars people have on various cards harder than fucking apple
