Do the Bus Stop

OK. So, I catch the bus almost everyday. From school I walk to some local shops where I catch one bus, then to the station where I wait for another bus which eventually drives me home. I stand for a complete time of 1 hour waiting for buses. 1 hour...I finish at 3:10pm and get home at 4:30-5pm. In the car it takes 10-15 minutes. Now according to the government $4 Billion has been spent on "fixing" our bus services and public transport...*twitch*...

If this is so...WHY DON'T YOU FUCKING FIX THE STUPID BLOODY BUSES AND THEIR FUCKING TIMETABLES. WHY STOP THERE? WHY DONT WE JUST ALL WALK! BECAUSE IT WOULD PROBABLY BE FUCKING QUICKER!!!

I wait too long, I wait patiently then when my bus driver turns up 20 minutes late I politely ask for my ticket where he so rudely grabs my money and slaps me my metcard. "Thanks." I say and take my seat...THATS IF I CAN GET A SEAT!!! Too many times have I had to stand and fall over bags and numerous prams. Too long have I stood in silence about this ever growing shit of a public service. This isn't service...its BULLSHIT. All I get from Ventura and Metlink is a whole lot of bullshit!

I'm sick of missing my bus because of over crowding and stupid bus drivers who won't let me leave the front door. I'm sick of paying $1.60 for the worst 1 and a half hours of my life everyday. I'm sick of sitting at the station being watched by derros and retards. I'm sick of the shit that comes out of the Governments mouths...take that $4 billion and shove it right up there with your ever growing taxes and shitty laws...

FUCKWITS.

Driving me crazy.

Im really annoyed. I've just spent a couple of hours researching this subject and its really paying a toll on my mood. I'm talking about the new P plate laws in Victoria commencing 1st July 2008. VIC Roads are forcing a new law where people who recieve there license after 1st of July 2008 are only allowed one passenger between the ages of 16-21 while on there P1 license. What?! WHAT!!?? ONE!!?? ARGHHHHHHHH! Apparently there is to many young deaths on Victorias roads, so the ones who havnt even made an impact on the roads yet have to pay the price. YAY! I guess they think if we have more then one passenger were more likely to be in car crash? What about designated drivers? Lifts? Doesn't this mean more P Platers on the road?? According to The Queensland Government QLD Transport says "Young drivers aged 17 to 24 are at least two and a half times more likey to die as a result of a road crash than other motorists." OKAY THEN! STATISTICS TIME!!

According to the TAC In 2006, 337 people died on Victorias roads. Let me point out something about these statistics...12% of these deaths were people aged between the age of 16-20. 14% of deaths was 70+, another 14% are 40-49 yr olds AND 18% were 30-39 yr olds. THAT'S 61 DEATHS IN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 30-39! Hmmm. Well, VIC Roads must be doing something right because in 1987 Victorias road toll for ages 16-25 was 110 deaths. While in 2006 it was only 35 deaths. Lets look at 65+. In 1989 death toll was 31 and in 2006 death toll was 31? Wait, is that right? 31? My god!? So wait it didnt move not one death!? Hmmm.

Let me point out something, of those 35 18-25 yr old deaths 74% were males, 71% were intoxicated and 66% were single vehicle crashes. Righttt.

So lets see who causes the most deaths on average. 16-20 yr olds cause 6 deaths on average, 70+ cause 17 deaths and 30-39 yr olds cause 19 deaths...but I thought young drivers aged 17-24 are at least two and a half times more likely to die as a result of a road crash than other motorists? Does that explain this?...

Mildura accident. Where a 34 yr old man killed 5 youths aged 14-17. They were walking...

Fair world, isn't it.

Death to Connex

Boy oh boy, This blog will be angry.

THIS COMPANY...

..can suck a fat one!

Now have had many great adventures into the city on trains. I have never really had trouble catching them, until I got older. Last year, Wednesday 14th November I caught the train with my friend to The Killers concert. On the way (approx. half way) we arrived at a stop and on hopped the most shittest people with the shittest jobs, the Metpolice.

These people, FOR A CAREER, check peoples tickets. Not just check people tickets, they also issue fines to people "breaking" the "laws" of Connex. They carry around these stupid badges and notepads (no joke). Well, of course they go straight for the two teenagers (one with dreadlocks) being rebels and putting their feet on the chairs. Do you reckon they wake up in the morning and think to themsleves "I'm fighting crime :D" or just "I really need to get laid". Apparently its a federal offence to place your feet on the chair. FEDERAL OFFENSE!! OFFENSE!!!! WHAT!!?? Like my new converse shoes could do any damage to your shit train!!! What about this!!??

I REALLY hope these nobheads got caught cause my offense hardly seems OFFENSIVE!! Thats right, I had to pay $162 for placing my feet on the chair. Which wernt even on the seat, they were on the plasitc bit that hobos probably lick! I can understand if my shoes were dirty and muddy but seriously...WHAT THE FUCK!!!?? $162!!! WHAT DO YOU NEED $162 FOR! TO CLEAN THE SEAT!! PLEASE!

Lets talk about the service! Who loves over crowded areas with smelly people? MMM...I love standing next to people with knives. Come on Connex, do you really think we enjoy our adventures to and from the city when were glued to a random 40 yr old guy by sweat? Don't think so. Why dont the ratty station bums get fines? Why do the people catching the train everyday have to put up with there shit, stand in over crowded platforms and listen to some derro talk about his favourite dumpster? Its just got to a point where people are treating the innocent people like fools!

Over crowding is easily solved by taking that $162 you make everyday tax payers pay and investing is some new bloody trains. Maybe this means there will be less fights and more room to breath. Hey who knows, I may even have room to relax and put my feet up!

Brought to you by the nobheads a Connex and Metlink.

Thanks for being awesome!
