Isn’t that the train that overshoots the platforms though…

yeah the pre-volgren buses are pretty bad

Poor Volgren, effectively killed by NSW Labor. It’s owned by Marcopolo now.

Wow things have changed in Melbourne in the last few years since I lived there if people love the trains, now. When I was in there everyone bitched and complained about the trains every day.

I would have expected this meme to have a tram in the top panel and a train in the bottom. The bus wouldn't have rated a mention.

We bitch about all the things all the time. But we secretly love our trains and trams.

Taps forehead

Can't complain about trains if you have to take a replacement bus.

The level crossing works have improved them but it's still a choice between having someone shit on your seat and having someone shit in your mouth

They both suck

The buses really ruin my car drive home

[–] halibutherring@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

You really shouldn't be taking your car on the bus anyway
