Single-use public transport tickets will not be reintroduced by Premier Denis Napthine despite several transport experts describing Melbourne's ticketing system as unfriendly for occasional users and visitors.

Former premier Ted Baillieu scrapped short-term tickets at the end of last year and some in the industry believed Dr Napthine was open to the idea of short-term tickets, but a spokeswoman for the Premier said: "Nothing has changed, there are no plans [to bring back the tickets]."

The government has 60 million short-term paper myki tickets in storage but has refused to use them.

The absence of short-term tickets has meant Melbourne has an "unfriendly" ticketing system for occasional public transport users and visitors to the city, according to several senior public transport figures who did not wish to be identified.

"The system is very poor for the occasional user ... it is unfriendly and suited for regular uses," one said.
