MAROONDAH and Yarra Ranges residents are being reminded that a myki transport card should be touched to scanners and not swiped or waved.
Transport Ticketing Authority chief executive Bernie Carolan asked commuters to be patient with people learning to use the myki.
"The most important tip is for people to touch their card to the centre of the reader and hold it still to ensure a successful touch on or touch off, rather than swiping, waving, tapping repeatedly or rubbing their card across the reader."
