Who runs myki

The two names associated with myki are Keane Australia Micropayment Consortium Pty Ltd (Kamco) and Transport Ticketing Authority (TTA).

Kamco

Kamco is the TTA’s key project partner in delivering myki. Kamco was engaged to design, build and implement the new ticketing system. Kamco will also operate myki for 10 years. Kamco is a wholly-owned subsidiary of US company Keane Inc (Keane).

Many subcontractors are assisting Kamco in delivering key components of the new ticketing system. These include ACS Solutions Schweiz AG (software supplier and manufacturer of most myki devices), Wayfarer Transit Systems Limited (bus and tram driver console manufacturers), Giesecke & Devrient Australasia Pty Ltd (card suppliers), and Gunnebo Entrance Control AB (who provide electronic station gate solutions).

Each of these subcontractors has a proven track record in delivering and/or operating smart card systems for public transport in many cities around the world.

Transport Ticketing Authority
The Transport Ticketing Authority (TTA), a state body established in June 2003, is responsible for the delivery and management of myki.

TTA’s aims are:

• the smooth transition to the new ticketing system throughout metropolitan and regional Victoria
• that customers trust and accept the new ticketing system
• that the new myki and current Metcard ticketing systems perform at high levels, are reliable and offer value for money ticketing infrastructure and operations
• to deliver a new ticketing system that meets the needs of public transport operators and gives them opportunities to improve service value.

TTA and its contracting partner, Kamco are working together with transport operators and other stakeholders to implement myki in Victoria.
