We all take the train to work here in Melbourne. In fact, I don't drive on weekdays.. only on my weekends. I think it's a great way to save money (parking in the city is very expensive, petrol is ridiculous), less traffic (though others may not agree) and most importantly it helps reduce global warming. But lets not get me started on global warming. I can go on and on about how ignorant some ppl are towards helping save the environment, especially the ppl whom I live with at the moment – Dopey (my brother) and Grumpy (my boyfriend).
While public transport can be frustrating i.e. cancelled trains, delayed trains, trains chock-a-block full of school kids (hate 'em, please parents… arrange other modes of transport for your kids during peak hour), the list goes on… public transport isn't TOO bad all other times. One thing that still makes me smile today is when the train/ tram driver gets out to help a person in a wheelchair get in/out the train. I don't think I'll ever see it in KL (sad but true).
There are also amusing moments in the train or tram.. like this one:
Sweetie, word of advice, never fall asleep in the tram, with your mouth open.
Someone will spare you an unwanted cigarette.
And take a picture.
And then send it around.
And then post it on a blog.
