More Public Transport

This one actually makes me giggle. The trams in Melbourne. Some drivers announce which stop their stopping at, Elizabeth St, Queen St etc. I imagine if you didn't know Melbourne this would be incredibly helpful! Unfortunately nine times out of ten the actual announcement of these stops is COMPLETELY unable to be understood. I'm not talking about a word said with a heavy accent you have to tune into to listen too, I'm talking just doesn't even resemble a word!

Poor tourists. I often have people asking me where they are. Kinda also amuses me as it's not like streets go on a curve in the city, if you get on at Bourke St good chance you're still on it a few blocks later. Ah well....maybe I should start cheering when I can understand the drivers. Positive reinforcement and all that.
