Now because you can't handle it, a blog.
Don't feel like workin' tomorrow, I guess it is because it is my last week at where I am and I have a lot of loose ends to tie up. It should be alright and I should be able to get through everything but I just can't be bothered. I think the ANZAC day off thing has thrown me, same with Easter, just as I started getting use to 5 days on 2 days off it goes all public holiday on me.
I remember I use to complain about the public transport in Melbourne, it was crappy smelling, never on time, expensive etc, Well now I think I have grown to miss it. In reality it is really good, nice and easy to get around on, makes sense, cheap (it really is) and is hardly overcrowded. Sydney is just that extra step up of craziness for PT, its always packed, you can throw the timetable out at certain times of the day, trains/buses can pull up at your station/stop and you will have NO CHANCE of actually getting on it cause it is so packed, the ticketing system is really retarded, you can't go to a ticket outlet and buy tickets (without getting the really overpriced tourist tickets) for say, a bus/train/ferry, stoopid.
Plus they have a bus ticket here which is only for 1 or 2 "sections", 1 or 2 sections from my house won't even get me 3 or 4 kms away, it is retarded, to travel 5kms to work I have to go through 4+ sections, what the hell? Don't think about making any stops along the way, once you get off a bus you have to pay again to get back on, regardless of what million number "section" ticket you just bought, retarded.
Least in Melbourne it is all laid out nice and easy, 1 ticket for a large area for any transport all day, reasonably priced. Oh yeah.

Dude you are a laugh. Just keep blogging and stop blogging about it. :P
With regards to the PT in Melbourne/Sydney, yeah I must say I like Melb PT. Mostly because it's not expensive, regardless of what anyone thinks. In London you have to pay minimum of 4 pounds (AU$10) to travel on the tube in zone 1 (central). Or if you have an Oyster card, it's 3. Still, thats ONE journey. They dont have n-hrs tickets there, once you get on and off thats it.
And in other countries its not cheap either. Serp did you hear they got rid of Zone 3? It's good but I think they just offset the loss in income by ramping up prices in general.
Phwor.. was just looking for your old iconnect/~serpentc site on the internet archive, but couldn't find it. I was looking up my old sites and found:

Man that goes back!
haha...
I heard they were going to get rid of Zone 3, I wonder how much prices went up for other zones? Or maybe they are saving that for next year.
Yeah, my iconnect extension was something else apart from serpentc, I can't actually remember what it was because i was 15 or whatever when I signed up for that account. I'm gonna have to think what it is now!
Yes, it's very annoying, you're right. This is why i try to ride my bike everywhere b'c the PT here drives me insane!!
