Since starting my job at the beginning of the year, I have come across the joys of public transport aka City Rail.
I have had several run-ins and quite frankly I, like most people have had enough!
This morning, i caught the 7.54 am express service from my station arriving at Central at 8.46am. To my absoloute horror, the usually packed six-carriage train had been downsized to four carriages.
I felt like i was on a cattle train. Peoples bodies brushing up against me, is not one of the most comfortable feelings in the world. It was so overcrowded, people at following stations could not board the train and to make matters worse, no one was told. People around me obviously frustrated started to argue.
I pay $45 a week and I only use the service five days a week. Does anyone else feel ripped off? Having to pay for seven and only using five? And to top things off, they want to increase fares!
What can I do? I need to travel by train everyday. I am certainly not going to drive, that would be worse!
