Anyone having a problem in Melbourne were bus drivers are saying you cant bring scooters on the bus unless it folds up?
They are saying after January 1 there's all these new rules and the ticket prices are going up as well, buses and trains in melbourne are fucked

In Tasmania bus prices are going up 10c per fare, but I have never encountered problems with them letting me take a scooter.

Fuck , I've even taken a bmx on a metro bus without problems before.

Just tell the driver to get a real job and step on. The can't stop you when they let old people use walking frames. Not being a cunt, it's a serious statement.

they tell me " fold it up"
i answer " sorry it can't fold up"
they usually think im being a smartass and dont believe me and because of that they sometimes not let me on the bus.

I've never had a problem with taking my scooter on buses, but if a bus driver refused to let me on because i couldn't fold my scooter up i would just quickly take my bars out of my scs, and then if the bus driver still didn't let me then i would absolutely rage, lives would be lost.

This only happened to me once or twice, 98% of the time it was chill. But I skate now so no problamo.

And fuck ticket prices, back in my day it was $1.20 for a 2 hour concession.
Today? $1.80, smokes dicks.

It costs me $1.20 for a ten minute ride into town, yet I went from devonport to Queenstown (about 300km) for 90 cents. Thats nearly a 300 km difference, and it was cheaper? haha. Shit fucked up real bad.

It's a fair way, and all for 90 cents.

In Austria we are not allowed to get on with a scooter EXCEPT its a normal scooter and you "clap it" (Bad englisch is bad o_O ). Hope you understand what i want to say^^
 
I take my scooter on the bus all the time.
Never had a driver say no scooters on the bus.
If a driver made me take my bars off, i would beat the prick over the head with them, that would leave the "MP" stamp on his forehead.
