: I have just moved to Brisbane where the buses have electronic ticketing.
: I use a 10 trip ticket which of course has to be validated but I notice
: that people with weekly tickets always validate (I suppose the currency
: of the ticket needs to be checked). There just doesn't seem to be a
: problem as everyone boards through the front door which is two lanes
: wide. The right hand lane is for validation only and the left is for
: either validation or purchase from the driver. Why is it such a problem
: in Melbourne other than the fact it is full of Victorians? Although, so
: is Brisbane.

Our buses have one lane only, but that doesn't worry me, because I catch
National Bus and they don't know what a validator is.
