Tram Announcements: another Victorian election conspiracy theory

[paul@xenu.ee.mu.oz.au (Paul Dwerryhouse)]

Has anyone noticed how the Tram announcements (you know: "Good
morning passengers... Swansong Trams would like to remind you to validate
your tickets on every journey so that we can trace your every movement and
invade your privacy ... [etc]") have suddenly disappeared, as the Victorian
election approaches?

I don't think I've heard one of these incredibly annoying, disrupting and
useless announcements in over a week. I'd been thinking, the last time
I'd actually heard one, that if there was anything that would generate a 
voter backlash, it would be these announcements.

Funny how life gets so much better as an election approaches.
