Transport wrongitudeMelbourne's public transport is doing away with paper tickets and moving into something a bit like the Oyster card. There's just something a bit not-quite-right with their marketing slogans. Plus I'm fed up with the constant voice-overs reminding me how easy it is to touch my monkey.

It had potential, but really fell apart half way through the chorus.

You have a station called BalaclavaI think more public transport hubs should be named after a burglar's disguise

True. So thankfully there's also a station called Officer.

Other favourites include Ginifer, Dennis, Willison, Darling and Yarraman - none of which are actually suburbs.
There's an interesting anecdote relating to Balaclava railway station, by the way. In 1996, a person found $200,000 stashed in a plastic drum on land adjacent to the station and handed it in to the police. A few days later, someone else who'd heard about this remarkable find on the news went looking in the same place for more money and - lo and behold - found another $200,000 hidden in exactly the same way. The second person also handed the money to the police. After that, I imagine that half of Melbourne would have been rummaging around the bushes (when they'd finished kicking themselves). I know I seriously thought about it.
