MORNING COMMUTERS
I have blogged before about our Flinders St Train Station in the City. Here are some photos from this morning as I was commuting into work. Early in the morning (6:34 am) as you can see, the station and trains are not so crowded and make for a good commuting experience. Also, our public transport is free early in the morning, provided your trip finishes by 7:00 am. This makes for a less congested system at peak hour, which can get very crowded with packed trains, buses and trams.

Wonderful to see... I love seeing candid shots.
ReplyDeleteI love these, Nick! Looks like my kind of transportation! Wish we had something to equal it here in Seattle -- don't get me started on our local transportation!!! Have a great day!

There is a gentle warmth in the train lighting and even on the station! I was wondering if the free ticket ploy was still in operation!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that it is free even if it is so early! Nice looking cars Nick.
ReplyDeleteNice, comfy looking cars!

Very early start for you.
ReplyDeleteI like our train system. It receives a lot of unfair criticism but on the whole is very good. I had no idea the pre 7am commute was free. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteI like this morning train shots. Great photos. More people should use the public transport system.
ReplyDeleteI like the mellow yellow color of the train interior. Looks confy.
ReplyDeletewhat a great thing to have the transport be free early
ReplyDeleteencourages mass transit
here in NJ we seem to encourage mass traffic
I love the light in your shots, so mellow
Glad its free! The cars are clean too! Do you get discounts or a monthly pass? I buy a monthly pass and senior citizens pay very minimum.
ReplyDeleteLike to ride a train. Have not experience riding a train. ^_^

I love seeing inside local transit. Is this a suburban train or a subway? I like the bright fabric on the seats too! :)
ReplyDeleteThose seats are very colourful!
ReplyDeleteThe top shot is great, I like the light!
