Travel Public transport

[Tulip]

Its when you touch off that the money is deducted. So most likely you'd pay for a 2 hour fare within the zones you used. If you don't touch off a default fare (the price of a daily zone 1+2 I think) is deducted.

The benefit is that if you touch on and off once within 2 hours (ie. going to work/school etc.) then touch on and off again within 2 hours (ie. going home) that myki will make it one daily fare, not 2x 2 hour fares.

The issue with this is that, if I were to train and then jump on a connecting tram as I do most mornings, it counts as a daily unless I don't touch on while on the tram.

I have fare evaded for about 3 years, think I've only bought 1 whole ticket in that time silly inspectors will never catch me with my evasion tactics, saved a few grand as well

Do you buy a half ticket instead?

Also, lol'd at shit man. Would rather pay the $4 than walk around with the remains of a nugget snuggled in my jocks though.

My colleague's brother is a CityRail (Sydney) ticket inspector. He says there's a well known guy known as the shit man who when upon seeing ticket inspectors, reaches into his pants, does a crap and goes after them. The inspectors run for their lives. Funniest thing I've ever heard. So that's ONE way to avoid the fine.

Hahahahahaha that's magical.

Anyone who's lived in London should have some great night bus stories.

Some bitch tried to convert me on the bus home from uni today. Gets on, sits on the seat in front of me. After about a minute, turns around and says hello to me. I think nothing of it and assume it was a polite way of asking me to stop using the back of the seat next to her as a footrest. But no. Five minutes pass and this happens:

Do you believe in jesus?
No.
Would you like to?
No.
I can save you.
No you can't.

---two minutes---

Do you ever wonder why we're here?
Shut the hell up.


First remotely strange thing I've ever had happen to me on public transport.

I would have gone with it......Woulda said. "I'm already saved" so what ya up to later" depends on whether she was hot. You may have to marry her first though before you can score!

Today I experienced one of the biggest WTF moments ever. I'm heading home on the train, 6-7 kids about 10 years old. Feral might I add. for 5 minutes non stop til the next stop, making rediculous zoo noises of various animals. I ignored them, didn't want to give em what they wanted. But seriously how bloody ******ed!

Hahaha this post gave me a flashback, and Was considering telling him that Jesus wants him to move onto the next carriage or something in the hope he would **** off, but considering he was a 6'5' black guy and I was exhausted I wasn't willing to try it

As if he'd do anything while trying to preach the word of God, you'd be safe!

I was on the Pakenham line train on the way home from work and had a Late teens- Early 20's playing music so loud on hes iphone that the woman next had enough. Got up from her sit got the little pair of sciccors and cut the headphone cord of the kid.

All the people that saw this, laughed and cheers. the Teenager got upset and got off at the next stop.
