  • No mood killer like nighttime bus mood killer. If inspectors are gonna keep checking buses, and if prices are this high, then they better be on damn time. A bus being late by three minutes can delay my getting home by forty minutes.

    That's not worth ten bucks a day.

    EDIT: Yup, won't be home until 11. Bus is that late. Fuck PTV.

    • This morning was waiting, waiting, writhing, then three turn up simultaneously and two leave empty without pause. Road works are a bitch, but please try to deliver the timetable.

      • Nope, but here's a $300 fine, as well as treatment as if you're a criminal, for not being able to afford a $10 daily fare for our fucked PT system

        • Don’t even need to be fined to be treated like a criminal by them.

          I remember my last run in with them 20 years ago and it seems they haven’t done a thing to change their conduct all those years.

          • Every damn time, they surround me like I'm gonna do a runner. For God's sake, I'm 70kg soaking wet, I'm neither a flight risk nor a violence one. Meanwhile the methhead up the back of a bus never gets a second look, even though he's threatened four people today.

            • That’s because you’re less likely to hurt them and also be intimated by them at the same time and likely they get a power trip from intimidating people who can’t fight back.

              Moment they see they can get hurt by someone erratic they go running away like cowards.

            • Yup total criminal here. Like they literally saw me touch on 10 seconds ago, but are all looming and demandy. Oh? Disappointed I have a full fare card and a monthly pass? Poor diddums. This blue hair mean jack squat about what you can assume. And do be remembering to say both Please and Ma’am while you’re at it Arse-ifer 🖕🏻
