cheap public transport

I've had a good run this week - about half of my trips have been free due to the transitional period between Myki and Metcard. Sometimes the bus driver only just switched on the bus so the system isn't ready by the time passengers start boarding. This can be the case even at my preferred stop, 1 kilometre in.

The other, more common way, is from Metcard validator failure. With no more money flowing into the maintenance of that system, I've seen a lot more out-of-order validators. Boarding is especially quick.
