Tickets Please

Fun on the trams

We were happily bimbling along Flinders Street in a tram this morning when it was boarded by ticket inspectors. This is the first time we have seen any in the six weeks we've been using the trams. We were slightly disappointed when our proffered tickets were ignored. Instead, the inspectors homed in with laserlike precision on three people without tickets. We were impressed. There are three possible theories here. Either they have enough experience to spot a dodger in seconds, or they just ignore people proffering tickets, or everybody here travels without a ticket. I don't propose to carry out the research needed to test these hypotheses. I can't afford the fines.
