Re: MET (Melb) ticket ripoff

["John" <jtas@bigpond.com>]

Unfortunately I was in a similar situation in 1993 - couldn't get a day
ticket of the Action driver at Canberra Station - had to pay a fare to the
city where I was able to get an all day ticket to go to the Sports Centre
and back via Belconnon.
