I'm not telling anyone to break the rules here. I am discussing reasoning 
behind why the rules should be changed. For the record, as discussed 
previously I am one of many people who purchases the correct ticket all the 
time, and gives it the first time validation. I am also unlike many people, 
and validate my ticket each time I board a tram or bus. I also validate my 
ticket before boarding a train, unless it's a station like Flinders Street 
where it would be crazy to exit the station and enter the station for the 
purposes of revalidation.
