Reasons I hate PTV #6487:
Trains are down so I caught a tram. It has now been an hour, and I'm only about two-thirds home.
It would've literally been faster to walk.
Where the fuck is the oversight?
One of my fantasies while living in Melbourne (Through the worst of the Connex and the early Metro years) was to magically teleport Transperth trains and operations onto the Melbourne network for a month. The whole system. I know it can't really be done.
But to somehow show Melbournians how a train network could run in this country would really drive home how bad the trains were in Melbourne.
In related news: The train network in Perth was never privatised.
