Newspaper pushes for fare boycott

Any person living in Melbourne who has recently been trying to catch a train from time-to-time, let alone regularly, will know all about the mental condition known as Connex Anger. For non-Melburnians a quick one sentence primer: Melbourne’s privately operated train network has been shit for years but recent brake problems with rolling stock have resulted in dozens of train cancellations per day and may soon force the entire network to run a Saturday timetable on weekdays.

People are pissed.

The Age online is running a story claiming that a day of action is planned on 1 March whereby commuters will not buy or validate train tickets. The impression is given in the first half of the story that the “day of action” is being organised and supported by the Public Transport Users’ Association (PUTA). However, it’s not until the second half of the story that the driver of the “day of action” is revealed as some anonymous nobody on The Age’s lame-arse Your Say page and a throwaway comment is made acknowledging that PUTA does not condone fare evasion.

GrodsCorp sez: Connex are shit and a day of action is the least they deserve.

GrodsCorp sez: The Age should quit sourcing their stories from comments on their pathetic online “blogs” and get on with the important tasks of designing vapid lifestyle magazine inserts and cut-and-pasting celebrity “news” from the wire services.
