I like public transport and if it was run more frequently and was a bit more convenient, I would use it most of the time, but yeah, it really sucks how they can just not run a service, or a bus can leave 10 minutes early, or 20 minutes late, and it’s just like “ok… What do you want me to do about it?”
I normally don’t complain but I was quite annoyed by that so I ended up being a bit of a Karen and calling PTV and politely lodging a complaint. Before they answered, there a message about VLine played: “Due to an external communications fault, all VLine rail services are currently suspended and will be held at the platform. We are unable to provide an estimated departure time, or a timeline for when services will resume.”. Pretty much everyone outside of the metro network is just fucked tonight. From what the app says, it doesn’t even seem like they’re trying to organise coaches - it literally just says “passengers should defer travel”
Passengers should defer travel. In the middle of peak hour. While they’re possibly hundreds of KMs from home with no other way to get back. JFC
I decided to give up and go home. I was going to head down to Bunnings and buy a padlock for the side gate, but I have onepass so decided I’ll just get the bloody thing delivered

Unfortunately it seems like it’s another victim of the outage. Bummer. Hope you got to where you needed to be without freezing too much…
