@XtrapolisLegs I'm convinced I'm actually a secret agent from Britain who was born in Australia on behalf of the royal household since I don't know how to do the Nutbush plus I hate Vegemite 🤯

You know winter is around the corner when you start hearing locomotives dynamic breaks from the end of the street going vrrrrrrmmmmmmmm

@aussiewongm New tranche of AML/TF legislation comes into effect soon.. which includes rare earth merchants
I'm guessing someone who wants to wash some "dirty" money?

Who the hell would be buying $24,000 gold nuggets from Facebook Marketplace? 😂

@MelbOnTransit Hopefully they'll fix up the eastbound 561 which now thanks to the Tunnel and Level Crossing Removal at Bell Street, Coburg ends up being a 20 minute wait due to a lack of coordination!
English
Would like to see further clarity but this looks like some encouraging news for the 503 & 506 bus routes. The QR code btw goes to this: transport.vic.gov.au/news-and-resou… #springst
Alan Thomas@atlight_alan
@MelbOnTransit Looks like 503/506 will finally get public holiday service... and maybe an extension of hours to 503 on weekdays (although 5 extra services a day is derisory for a route that goes to bed at 7pm). No Sunday service still, I infer from this.

We *could* direct the economy to unemployment rates below 2% (which is in the RBAs remit) or we could just leave a pool of workers deliberately unemployed and let them suffer...
Keynesian economists don't know what full employment is

So, @senatorpennyqld & @antipovertycent wrote to the government, urging them to stop forcing welfare recipients into these stupid activities during a fuel crisis. Government response? "Just contact your job provider" Story here: theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…

@MelbOnTransit @tayser82 The only way to make up for the cheap fares is if they added extra services / capacity...
Peak is pretty much at full capacity now, unless they push the Hitachi's back in service

Premier's response to question about public transport fares:

@hisaflog100 Can't wash anything on Platform 8 above head height unless you request permission to isolate the overhead from Electrol, and even then you'd have to ground it which would require an occo

@aussiewongm Metro's PIDs at Flinders Street still state Gippsland trains don't stop at Pakenham (well pick up only), the fare manual says it's allowed but the V/Line staff member at Flinders Street implied it wasn't..
English
I've always thought V/Line pick up and set down restrictions are a pain in the arse, but there is logic to them for outbound journeys - but inbound trips the people who need seats already have them, so if there is space available anyone should be able to use it.
English
"V/Line should drag an empty carriage from Bairnsdale to Pakenham just so I can ride it to Richmond" is certainly a take.
English
@aussiewongm It was like Plasma televisions.
Best technology we had back in the day that was decent, now they're known as power wasters..

I missed this one from December 2025 - Adelaide Metro had to remove the “clean and green” tagline on their 25 year old compressed natural gas fuelled buses after the advertising standards regulator got a complaint that it was misleading. theguardian.com/australia-news…
English
@DarbyGoodOne @tayser82 Also the fact the cost of a very low current device is being passed directly to the resident.... Via a third party and not through the main metering system, god knows what they'll charge...
English
@tayser82 Plugged in cables running across the floor with women in high heels walking by them.
This is just asking for trouble, these guys are too smart by half.
English
@OperationalInc1 But god forbid if the train or tram drivers went on strike 🙄

The irony is there's no sympathy towards the students, it's all about themselves.... Seeing these teachers in Melbourne Central eating their KFC while there's kids who should've been at school but can't attend is just shameful..
if train drivers did this they'd be berated
English
Considering the ablest teachers I've experienced + schools actively pushing students out so they can retain a "clean" brand, which leads to crime amongst all sorts of issues.... 11.3% a year is a bit rich..
English
Maybe we shouldn't just use doordash / delivery services for everything that you can get from a store..... Seems pointless

Facebook group suggestions are so odd. I've never driven for doordash but I keep getting these glimpses into the life:

I'm free on Wednesday and Thursday, just sayin' 😉

They're gonna bring out the Red Rattler to cope with the influx of train commuters aren't they
English
@aussiewongm That said, if you touched "on" at Footscray which has barrier gates, considering it knows the direction it'll count that as another touch on
English
@aussiewongm From what I know, it starts counting after the last touch on and if you exceed a certain amount of time (I think it's 90 minutes for Zone 1&2) without touching off it'll charge you the default fare which is the two hour Zone 1+2 fare.
English
Is a zone 2 to zone 2 train journey still charged as zone 2 only if you make an out of system interchange between two stations in zone 1? (Decided to play it safe, and rode my bike from Macaulay to Footscray to avoid need to touch off then back on)
Marcus Wong@aussiewongm
But since this is an Upfield train and there's no good connection for the Sunbury line, I'll get on the bike again between Macaulay and Arden, to save fighting a lift to get out of North Melbourne, or the three sets of lifts at Melbourne Central/State Library.
