Re: commuting

Catching public transport at around 7.30am, 3pm and 5.30pm are the worst times to travel by if you're a commuter. That's of course, in my opinion (which may not be very important to you but i've been using public transport for a number of years now).

At 7.30am and 5.30pm, heaps of people in suits would be lining up on platforms waiting for their trains/trams. And the trains would usually be packed depending on which way you're going. Chances are if you were on one of those trains, you'd be sandwiched in between taller people. Standing in trains isn't that bad. Standing in packed buses with a heavy backpack is a lot worse. Hold on tight or risk falling onto someone else.

Then at 3pm, you'd find a huge group of school kids rushing to make the train and once they get on, it's talk talk talk until they get off. And you know what school kids talk about, right??

Absolute crap. Most of the time.

A kid happened to be on the train today and he was running around and shouting most of the time which entertained and possible annoyed some people. That combined with school kids chatting non-stop = a lot of noise.
