Dot points because I can't be bothered forming paragraphs:
- Took an overnight Greyhound coach. The bus driver stalled at a major intersection.
- Got to wake up next to a lovely young lady in the morning though. Well, several times in fact and to the smell of fried chicken at the 4AM meal break stop.
- $11 a day for two zones' travel seems a bit steep.
- Police operations held up a train. It seemed like twenty PSOs and police converged to encourage one young man out of a carriage, while his companions continued leaping around inside.
- Contrastingly cheap weekend fares and good 10 minute frequency in the middle of the day.
- Original wording of City2Sea public transport options could be trying to hide the fact that there is no easy way into the city on Sunday morning!
Before: Public transport travel in Zones 1 and 2 is free for your journey home from the event on event date only.
After: “Trains, trams and buses are the best way to get home from the City2Sea run on Sunday 11 November with public transport travel included in the cost of the event ticket.Public transport travel in Zones 1 and 2 is free from first to last service on Sunday 11 November by simply presenting your chest bib when requested by public transport staff.”
- Indeed the first trams of the day were full of participants.
- Trams are slow and stop too often!
- New fences won't do much to stop people jaywalking:
- Lots of small random shops moving into the shopping centre:
- Also: saw an elderly Caucasian lady drinking a can of Mother energy drink while dragging a shopping cart
