I can't be the only one who believes that whenever metro makes everyone take replacement buses the rest of the journey should be free...
Unrealistic, I know, whenever the replacement buses drop me off at Newport station half an hour later than planned, the fact that I still have to pay for the rest of the journey just to get to the city loop pisses me off.
Agreed, or at they should have least some form of compensation (perhaps even some of that free coffee or food that they've been handing out, that I seem to miss all the time >.> )
I know how you feel, I've been caught out on those Newport busses as well though- took an hour to get from my station to Newport the other weekend and I wasn't
too pleased with it! (and I also got motion sick halfway through- not pleasant!)
I've also discovered that in a fortnight, there's no trains from Newport to Werribee (EDIT: I re-read the website aha) that weekend, which is going to screw me over big time, due to my (somewhat) poor foresight and planning, aha. :')
One day, I'll stop whining about the public system, just not today. q:
