My wife tells me that people get busted on mass on a semi regular basis and that some people at her work say that on average just coping a few fines a year is cheaper than paying.In a different topic.
My kids catch the bus from Mentone.
Today there were inspectors opposite the station.
Apparently nearly 2/3 of the students immediately got off the bus.
And some don't even have a myki card, let alone touch on.
Really makes me question what their parents are about and what sort of values they are teaching their kids.
Role models my arse...
Just on the system itself, I have never used it so it’s a long time since I used public transport. Here are my issues with it as an outsider if you like. I hear countless reports of the light rail and busses my lot catch shorting the trip, for example the Monash bus turning around just after Ormond station or the lightrail shunting back at Fitzroy street. Despite this foreign companies are paid a bloody fortune and receive bonus payments despite regularly not meeting the targets set.
I can’t believe any government would allow a system to be set up where you can’t buy a ticket either at the station or on the bus or tram, I mean what the ****. I decide I feel like crap and can’t walk to the doctors so I hop on the tram, great now I’m breaking the law because I don’t have a Myki. Their solution is purchase one and carry it all times just in case you need it even though the card has an expiry date again what the ****. Public transport should be owned and run by the government I’m sick of my taxes making foreign shareholders rich.
Your original point is yes it’s a bloody joke so many people just lack any kind of respect, manners, call it what you will. Too many people do as they please and others wonder why temperatures are rising, s**t I see in the 30 minutes or so I’m on the road so many people talking on phones, failing to indicate etc it’s insane. I have had at least 6 people take of at the lights when they turn green and turn straight in front of me, believe me I’m not sitting there dozing I’m not burning rubber but it’s split second stuff. They have just decided **** this I’m not waiting for a line of cars I’ll just take my chances.
All part of the same problem imo, no respect, no manners, no morales.
Just on that theme did you see that attack on the tourist in the car park, now unless there’s some bizarre background story which from the cctv appears not to be the case what sort of nut job does that? Get cars off the road, oh right o I’ll ride and get run over or walk and get assualted **** that.
Grumpy middle aged man rant for Tuesday done .
