No mood killer like nighttime bus mood killer. If inspectors are gonna keep checking buses, and if prices are this high, then they better be on damn time. A bus being late by three minutes can delay my getting home by forty minutes.
That’s not worth ten bucks a day.
EDIT: Yup, won’t be home until 11. Bus is that late. Fuck PTV.
Nope, but here’s a $300 fine, as well as treatment as if you’re a criminal, for not being able to afford a $10 daily fare for our fucked PT system
Don’t even need to be fined to be treated like a criminal by them.
I remember my last run in with them 20 years ago and it seems they haven’t done a thing to change their conduct all those years.
It’s fucking cold out there too! It feels like there’s no quality control of the service, only customer compliance. Did you pay for the shitty service? No? Then we won’t attack the shitty service, just you. Are you on a bus now or still waiting?
Finally on a bus, but fuck me that was a long (and cold) wait.
It really is shite, you’d think it’d be an easy fix too; each inspector costs 100k a year, drop them and the ticketing system and it’s quite likely it’d break even (also, y’know, it’s a public service. I already pay for it out of my taxes, why am I getting double-charged?)
