    I feel so much lighter and free, even though I’m once again chained to the regular expenses of a car. No more faffing around with carshares at odd hours, constantly checking PT times, carrying around a coat and charger, leaving things behind at home, saying no to catchups…

      It’s unfortunate but Melbourne does not lend itself to getting around particularly easily with PT.

        @wscholermann @just_kitten The inner suburbs where there’s trams isn’t that bad. Or along train lines.

        But anywhere that you need to get to by bus… *shudders*

        (And how is it the Belgrave line has half hourly trains during most of the day?!)

        Past 10km, the suburbs are woefully car dependent. Busses and shared bike lanes as an after thought are terrible.
