I hate ticket/ myki inspectors. I have a yearly myki and they still insist on scanning it, I even show them my concession card. then they just walk right on past other people and don't scan them. maybe I look shifty I dunno.

don't think the myki system really works, would most likely fail in rush hour. it was best at the start of the year when the myki machines didn't work and you just showed the bus driver your card.

The same chap interrogates me every single day at Glen Waverley station if I forget to touch on my Myki.

I hate Glen Waverley. There used to always be a gate open which you could just walk through, now it's always staffed

[Cianyx]

Tis true. I've got a friend whose Myki still hasn't worked for 9 months.

Lol I had to get my Myki replaced 3 times. It would work for 2 weeks and then no response... I hope this one lasts til the end of the year at least.

I keep calling the Indian guy at the gate Uncle, he's not that happy about it.

One of those Indian guys always gives me a lecture about not touching on with Myki blah blah blah.

yeah he's glen waverley ticket uncle, he threatened to send me back to syndal and touch on if he caught me again.

i like the other uncle who always asks STUDYING HARD OR HARDLY STUDYING?

and of course there is south yarra station uncle. the other day one of the boys asked why he lets people through, and he was like "if one wants to get from point A to point B, who the hell am I to stop him?"

Ticket inspectors are power mad wannabe cops... i've seen them push around like 80 year olds and people who cant obviously speak english before.. its disgraceful

[Kennybhoy]

My brother got fined for "inappropriate language" after telling one of them that he paid their salary in tax.

I reckon the fine was worth the hilarity though.

My mate got fined for putting his feet up on the seat... yeah i looked it up... turns out it IS a real law... this is what politicians do ladies and gentlemen ... not useful stuff but writing in laws like that

Well that's an alright one, but the Ticket inspectors think they are secret spies or something, have you seen the ridiculous long coats they wear?
