: 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.
