That is a total copout - buses have one entrance only, and people still
validate without unduly holding up the bus. With more entrances on a tram,
there is NO reason why the same could not apply (except, of course, that
Melburnians are slower than Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide people - hey,
there is an argument I will listen to!)
