Metcard operator Vix Technology sends myki proposal to State Government
The operator of the existing Metcard system has proposed the introduction of a cheaper smartcard as an alternative to myki.
Vix Technology chief executive Steve Gallagher said it would not cost taxpayers an extra cent.
"We can help the Government solve the biggest transport mess in Victoria?s history," Mr Gallagher said.
The proposal was put to the State Government last week.
Mr Gallagher said the new system would start being implemented within six months and take up to 18 months to finish.
"For the Government and taxpayers we offer a cost effective system with no upfront costs and savings of around $100 million," Mr Gallagher said.
"We will provide a world class public transport fare collection service based on proven technology without time overruns or any upfront costs to Victoria."
Mr Gallagher said the plan would involve the existing Metcard remaining in place for up to three years.
