Mmm, that. Also the fines are there for revenue raising to compensate for lost revenue from fare evaders, so they hand them out on a letter of the law basis, rather than judging it in the spirit of the law.

For Hurstbridge, which goes to Flinders before the loop, it is quicker to get the tram to uni but due to my hate of the tram I always get off at MC IF I have a lecture on the Swanston St side of campus.
Any lectures close to the Economics area/Med area/Royal Parade side, I get off at Flinders and catch the number 19.

I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED THIS OF EVERYONE EVER.

If the train goes through the loop, MC, if not, usually Flinders

Always at Flinders Street - it significantly reduces the variance of the time taken to board a suitable tram, thus resulting in a less painful life experience.

My train doesn't go through the city loop so I'm stuck with Flinders. It is nice to get a seat on the Swanston street tram though!

I get off at Flagstaff and take an awkward combination of buses and trams to uni.

I'm on the hurstbridge line so I get off at Flinders in the morning but get on at Melbourne central.

I'm considering riding from Clifton hill instead. I think it'd save me about 10 minutes, it's only ~4km.

I might try it out over the weekend and see.

I get off at Flinders when I come in the morning so I can get a seat, but MC when I go at 11.

Also some lady on the Epping line comes all the way to Preston and asks "this is Hurstbridge isn't it?".

BTW. Mavis are you in chem 1, 1pm stream? I think I saw you the other day.

She probably forgot to get off at Clifton Hill.
Epping > Hurstbridge anyway, closer to my house

Trains these days...

The 200/201/203/205/207 buses from Johnston Street ftw.* 

*It still has its flaws but probably more reliable than Metro.  And I haven't seen a ticket inspector on those buses.

Definitely Flinders over MC on average. The train stops for quite a while at Flinders and you're basically guaranteed to get a spot on the tram.

Yeah Epping > Hurstbridge. I get off at Epping though :/

I don't think she forgot though, she thought she was ON the Hurstbridge train.

Haha I'm kinda worried it wont be you though! I saw you at the Elizabeth Murdoch theatre I think, a few rows from the back.

I'm certainly not shouting out "mavisgibbons" in the middle of a lecture theatre :P

Yeah, those busses are heaps better than the train. Pity I have to wait for a specific one.
