You are not being a jerk. I remember thinking the exact same thing when I looked into applying for compensation. It's an archaic, stupid system which I'm sure they're happy to leave as is, because most people give up because they can't be fucked printing a form, filling it out, and mailing it back to them.

Who the fuck mails anything these days!?!?! :p

Nah, it's not you who's being unreasonable; they intentionally make it painful, and make the compensation so worthless that almost no one claims it.

It was annoying that 6/12 month metcard holders had to apply for compensation; they already had those people's details, the daily tickets should have just been sent out each month. With myki it's complete bullshit that you even have to apply, their multibillion dollar fuckup should be capable of crediting anyone who's eligible.

Speaking of worthless I read an article recently that said compared to other major cities around the world, the discount offered to Melburnians for purchasing monthly, 6 monthly and 12 monthly tickets is minuscule and insufficient for rewarding longterm passengers. Lamezor! I buy monthlys to avoid constantly having to validate, but if I miss three days of work for whatever reason a monthly becomes slightly more expensive than buying weeklies.
