Society & Culture Things in life you just don't understand - Part 3

[revo333]

I do it 5 days a week, it's fine (and free). I have a pair of over the ear headphones and I sit down and get about 2 podcasts in each trip. Really quite enjoyable, if I'm being honest. I used to love catching the train when I lived Bayside, too. I love 0 effort travel.

I did it for 3 years, a few years before podcasts, streaming apps ect and all that were accessible on mobile phones. Also some of the trains still didn't have aircon.

I was well over it but these days it's very easy to make time pass on the train and I don't think i would mind doing it.

 

[Cruyff14]

The train is fine if you have music and/or a book.

 

[peternorth]

How about all the things we as a society hate about PT? People sitting on the floor in carriages, people trying to get in before passengers can alight etc

 

[peternorth]

And how about when the trains break down during summer cause its too hot?

I was in New York last year when it was cold and I used the subway and it was so stuffy standing on the platform.

Must be hell in summer.

Ok not sure if srs.

But it was really stuffy. Anyway all good, I only really use PT for the footy and then sometimes on the weekend out of footy season.

Our line only has the old trams.

 

[Shell]

Our line only has the old trams.

Oh yeah real shock that one. Why not the eastern suburbs- why cant they still have the old trams

 

[peternorth]

Old trams are better than new trams imo. More seating as well as stand up seats.

 

[IKnowtheDog]

What constitutes an old tram?

the ws are gone do what are the current oldest trans?

 

[Shell]

Anything with no air con.



Nah idk- you can tell by the "look" of them. The newer ones are more streamlined. They're bright white too

 

[drd23]

I assume Shell was talking about one of these

Had to get the train in Sydney last week carrying all my luggage, was a prick. Had some decent Al Bundys happening by the time I got to the station too, people probably kept away deliberately.

 

[Shell]

I assume Shell was talking about one of these

Yeah they're the ones.

Also the longer ones- but same shape/style. They're getting old too now.

And the never ending saga of the gift voucher continues.

I wish to pay for a $50 voucher.

It shall cost me $60.



Get stuffed.

Edit: all good. Found another place very similar, spoke to a lovely lady- who even laughed a bit when I asked is the amount of the voucher all I get charged for.
