A Tram Tale in five fish.

Once upon a time public transport was one of the town's great pleasures, that is until, the system was sold down the drain. The stickers rang, 'fare evasion is theft', 'buy a ticket, the right ticket', the advertisers spin. The 'right ticket' was impossible to obtain, the criminal government had stuffed it again. PRIVATISATION IS THEFT he scribbled in texta as the confusion reigned, he muttered 'Very witty, I must say!' as he got off the train.
