Celebrity Metcards
MYKI will be a big improvement to the public transportation system when and if it ever is released. One downside of this is not being able to get some nifty looking Metcard tickets.
Over the years, Metlink has released Metcards with Melbourne architecture, Wind in the Willows,the Australian Open, and many more designs. A couple of months ago Metlink introduced its ‘Celebrity Mini Metcard Masterpieces”. They are far from masterpieces but interesting to look at while you are wating for your train/tram/bus. The website says they “each created the individual designs” which translates to “I told an artist to draw this”. My favourite is our lady Livinia’s drawing of the Yarra river (pictured to the right). John So’s Metcard on the other hand, freaks me out a bit.
The Metcards are available anywhere Metcards are sold for no extra charge.

Personally, I’ve always found the art/ads on Metcards to be a bit of a pain, it makes it hard to find them in my wallet because every time I buy a new one it looks completely different. I kinda wish they’d just put a mini-version of the train map on there, at least that might be useful sometimes.
