Re: News & Discussion: Public Transport Contracts, Service & Policy

I too have had dealings with Melbourne transport inspectors.....I found them nothing more than courteous, just people doing a job. On several occasions they have even warned people "to tap on now" saving the inspectors from paperwork and the passenger from a fine. But no you have passenger...
