CityRail
Next Wednesday, CityRail is allowing all passengers to travel for free on the train system. It’s a “goodwill” move that attempts to apologise for the crap we’ve had to put up with for ages (and most especially in the last week). The gesture is expected to cost them $2 million. Of course, this is bad luck for the people that buy weeklies and travelpasses on Monday. However, I got lucky. I buy my travelpass on Tuesday evening, so my ticket cycle goes from Wednesday to the n e xt Tuesday. Therefore, I can skip buying it on Wednesday and get it on Thursday instead :). Although I go off at CityRail every day, you gotta remember that many CityRail employees are just as frustrated and stressed. I wonder how long I will have to wait tonight for a train home?
