Re: QR's hospitality?

["James C" <jamesccj@optusnet.com.au>]

Just want to give you more detail, that conductor ripped off my student pass
because he asked me to show student card. He said if I don't have a student
card that issued by ROA(back in 1992)  even if I wear school uniform I still
have to pay adult fee.

Cheers
James
