you mean the flee flowing rivers that turned QLD into a bog and are starting to do the same in Vic? sounds like a damn good idea - unless you favour flooding over people's lives!

COMMUTERS have slammed a government decision to slash city train services in the biggest shakeup in over a decade.

It comes as Transport Minister Terry Mulder confirmed plans to slash hundreds of train services through the city loop and cut the number of express trains on some lines.

It is the new minister's first major initiative since the November election.
Mr Mulder said he had been advised to cut the services to enable more reliable services

.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/city-loop-cuts-anger-commuters/story-e...

Kim, who gets the train from Tooronga on the Glen Waverley line, said the changes would be annoying as she had to start work at 7am.
"I get one of the first trains. I will now have to get off at Richmond," the 27-year-old said

.

Hamish Low said the change would be irritating.
The student and retail worker lives in Malvern and catches the train to and from the city from Tooronga station.
"The alternative route is much more time consuming for me, I will probably have to get off at Richmond and it would add on a bit of time," he said.

Another commuter Massoud Alamashah who gets the train too and from Kooyong said the changes would mean he would have to allow more time to get to work.
"It's annoying. I will have to leave earlier."

You are having a very public mental breakdown buzz. long before we consult a dictionary, you should be consulting a doctor. It is no longer funny watching a one-time decent poster devolve into the ranting raving child you have become.

And STILL - you try and drag it down to a personal level

Rather than try and

DEFEND

the

INDEFENSIBLE

If is personal, because you are a person. there is ONE person on here who demands the use of large fonts every time. that is you. there is ONE person who posts every day more nonsense on the Vic Libs. Even with the crazies on here there is still only ONE poster who complains that a party breaks promises AND keeps them. It just never ends for you. All perspective and irrationality is gone. it is every day ALL DAY for you. just more hate and nonsense all because your beloved labor party lost an election fair and square.

its 55 pages now buzz. you've made your point ad nauseum. From here on in, it will only prove the point that you are a bad loser who cant move on. Im serious when I say that if you cant drop this and put some perspective into it that you risk some mental health issues. This is obsessive and you should perhaps go offfline for a while or take a holiday (outside victoria) and get your mojo back because whatever it is... you've lost it. Id prefer to debate with you from our former partisan positions. This is not partisan. this is obsessive.

That's a terrific post, it's 100% to the point.

To be honest, how anyone can begin criticising a Government 1 week after they take over - and they have taken over from a Government that left them a mess - well it is just beyond absurd.

Buzz has some issue with the Liberal party.
I don't know what it is.
I don't know if its the policies, the individuals, the people who support the party - but clearly something is not right and he is allowed some personal vendetta to cloud any semblance of judgement.

A better service for whom - and at whose expense!?

Leaving for work earlier...

Arriving home later...

Dealing with associated family welfare and logistics issues...

Travelling on more crowded trains...

Travelling for longer at the mercy of public transport operators...

Suddenly needing to change trains mid-journey - with a risk of connection and delay problems - and dealing with the wrath of an annoyed employer for being late...

Facing the prospect of not being comfortably-seated for part or all of the daily commute...

How can that be described as "better" or "more reliable"!?

How can LESS service lead to a "better service" ?

Quote:

Throughout the campaign, Baillieu talked of

commuters being squeezed in ''like sardines'' on trains.

His big promise was to buy 40 more trains for the suburban network. But the fine print reveals that only seven of those will be on the tracks during his first term. Commuters be warned: Baillieu will not ''fix'' the public transport system any time soon.

I may get this wrong but are you not a supporter of the Party with principals that endorses personnel responsibility ?

To me it sounds idealistic to think you can curve all disasters especially when nature continues to change its patterns...but off you go. Build ,cut and dig.
