Trains

It's pretty awesome, the type of people you see on trains.

You get the friendly noisy stranger, who talks to you on trains. A friend of a friend of mine found one guy who could yodel very well. And that was only because the yodeller talked to this friend first.

You also get the politically motivated activist. They'd go around, handing out survey forms to passengers, asking for signatures. There was this guy I met one night, he was trying to collect enough signatures to petition to boot Connex out of handling the Melbourne public trains.

And then you get the evangelists, who'd get on the train and start asking people, "Would you like me to read you a story?"

Ah, the fun of travelling on trains in Melbourne.
