TransAdelaide - better described as TrainsAreDelayed.
The local train station is adorned with mini posters, each proclaiming a Brand New Timetable which makes the system more efficient and accessible, with trains guaranteed to depart "at least every 30 minutes from morning peak to last service".
Between the hours of 8 AM and 9:30 AM three trains now depart from my station - 8:15, 8:50, and 9:23. The mathematically minded among you will note that the difference between these times exceeds 30 minutes. Moreover, on the previous timetable trains would depart every 20 minutes during this period.
I notice that during earlier periods trains depart every 20 minutes, while alternate trains give this particular station a miss. At later periods - post 9 AM - every train turns into a stop-all-stations affair, so this station gets served every 15 minutes. Yes, during the day there are now more frequent trains than during peak hour.
What sort of Orwellian reality do these idiots at TrainsAreDelayed exist in? Where Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength ... and Less Trains is Better Service? With my specific commuting requirements the train service has been made all but unusable. I will be driving to work more often. Congratulations TrainsAreDelayed; if you've been trying to drive people away from the system, you have succeeded admirably.
Clowns OUT. Smears OUT. RESIST THE OCCUPATION.
