Transit Ticketing Authority – Melbourne Australia
\nProject name :<\/strong> MYKI
\nDate :<\/strong> May 2008 Cost :<\/strong>up to $350M AUD<\/p>\n

Synopsis :<\/strong>
\nSmart card system to allow bus, rail and tram travel on a single ticket delayed by as much as 5 years and over budget by between $200M and $350M depending on press reports.<\/p>\n

Contributing factors as reported in the press :
\n<\/strong>Underestimation of complexity, schedule underestimation, “technical flaws”, little other detail available.<\/p>\n

Related story :
\n<\/strong>In 2007 a similar project was cancelled in Sydney Australia\u00a0(TCARD<\/a>).\u00a0 Almost sounds like a bizarre case of inter-city rivalry!<\/p>\n
