Public Transport stories

Looking forward to tomorrow morning. Same carriage, same time every morning this bird is already on the train talking on the phone at the top of her voice.

Speaks the entire 40 mins. Every Monday without fail

Inside voice please.

There's always one,just got to be heard.

If it were one of those movie fantasy scenes you would scold her for her behaviour with the approval of your fellow passengers before exacting terrible revenge.

Or you could just get a different carriage to work on Mondays.

That's the plan.

I bet there is another one

Myki confusion

Checking the balance of the card via a machine at the station and it says $36.

Interesting as I figured I'd be topping up the card by the end of the week.

Touched on and touched off 40 minutes later, balance on the reader after touching off was $16.

The next day go to check the balance on the ticketing machine at the station..... and again the balance said $36.

I topped up (just in case of more skulduggery) to $85. But I still went to the counter to get a human explanation, but all they could offer was a printout that contained info on the type of card and my last week's worth of touch on/off.

The only interesting thing on that was my last trip didn't touch off properly (even though the success beep occurred and that's where I saw the balance difference). Funny thing about that was I didn't think it touched on right (as I literally did it a second after another person's touch on).

Yeah I don't know how it all works .
On peak ,off peak...etc.

When we were in Sydney earlier in the year we didn't need to get a Opal card ..their Myki.
You just use your Credit card.
On the phone it logged me out a few times I didn't wanna hold people up.
Opal send me email thinking I was ripping them off.
I just explained it logged me out a few times.

Cost about 2$ return from blue mt hotel to Wentworth falls .
Even tho there's no prober stop but we made it work.

One thing that shites me with Myki some gates won't open the card scanner all up the shite.

First week back after buses replaced trains for a few weeks. I can drink heavy instead of mid for office drinks today, this pleases me.

Why does the mode of transport change the strength of your office cans?

Because I don't have to drive home!

Here in se Asia I am continuously impressed with how clean and quiet the trains are subway are. Everyone’s respectful, people give up their seats for elderly and needy. No one is speaking loudly on their phones. It’s like a network of humans all on the same page.

Why aren’t our public transport systems the same or even partially similar?
