In BNE and ADL where I live, travel on a plastic card is cheaper than buying a one time fare. I guess you need to do a cost benefit analysis just to use transport. Now where is my calculator......

I thought it was "Mexican" :mrgreen:

Yes, I was called/referred to as a Mexican many times when I lived in Brisbane!

I did too when I lived in Sydney. Until I pointed out, if we are Mexicans, then Queenslanders must be Canadians, and well you guys must be ......

Dunno, but in my experience, Melbourne is rather unique in not having a reasonable cash fare option....

London is much the same. The cash fare is often twice the Oyster fare. £5 to buy the Oyster card, then additional to top it up.. but as mentioned previously, if you decide to return it, at least you get the £5 back.

I believe that is the polite term used in Queensland. The term used up here is "Bloody Southerner" for everybody.
