An ode to the horrors of Public Transport

November 11, 2008

Last Monday, another vehicle ran plumb into the back of my car when I stopped at the traffic lights. As a result, my car is now being perused by the insurers. What’s worse - as the car insurance policy is under my father’s name, I can’t use a hire car while my car is being repaired.

Which means I’m forced to use **shudder** public transport.

I haven’t used public transport since I left Melbourne in 2004. And I haven’t used Tasmanian public transport in more than a decade. From all reports, it’s gotten much worse. And god only knows what it’ll be like for an Asian-looking guy getting onboard a bus. Hopefully, I’ll only have to put up with this for a few weeks. And then I can get back to using a car…like civilized people.
