Melbourne - 30 June 2006
Original Map of the Melbourne Train System
All the Lines indicate the train routes I have taken, and the circles are where i've gotten off and had a look around
So, I got up this morning right, after doing all my usual stuff I went out to get myself a travel pass for the day from southern cross station where just the previous day they accepted visa as a form of payment for the $9.70 daily pass. But today no they won't accept it, it's just completely insane how they won't accept credit cards for anything under $10 even if its like only 30 cents off. I'm just complaining cause it's an extreme inconvenience when you're a traveller and all you have is a visa card. In fact I think, this is purely my opinion travellers and cities and countries that rely on cash as a form of transaction, encourages petty crime because opportunistic thieves look for visitors as a target. But anyway after my debacle with the transport sales officers about this problem with their way of doing things, I found a 7-11(oh the savior of my day yet again) which would sell me a met-card. I went to Epping an outlying suburban town about an hour away from the city centre it's quite nice. But anyway here are some photos to keep you entertained, they are photos of the train stations i've been to or stations i've stopped at.
