Here we are fucking eleven years later and the cunt is still being upgraded
I reckon in my entire time in this country I haven’t seen the EJ Whitton bridge without yellow temporary fucking lines
Like, look, the panel shop I worked at? No traffic, you get there in ten minutes from me house
Hahaha. Didn't they start widening that again last year?
You get stuck in traffic in the _one road_ the leads to the freeway?
Takes an hour and a fucking half
Yeah they did
It’s a fucking joke
Every year it has to be widened
Everywhere in Brisbane takes 20 minutes
By the time they finish the widening it takes two weeks before they have to widen it again
Cause they find it alleviates traffic not a single fucking iota
Unless it's peak then 25.
Hey you still remember where Dandy South is yeah?
Yeah south of dandenong.
Near Chelsea Beach.
My Dad grew up in Frankston.
Ah good old Franga
The good news is Melton recently overtook Frankston as the meth capital of Vic
So that’s improving I guess
But uh, yeah, so I used to work there, right
Took me an hour and a half to drive to and from
Then I got slapped with the office hours shift and... man holy fuck
Two and a half hours each way
To go all of fifty kilometres
Jfc. It's a planned city. Historically. From scratch. How incompetent does a government have to be to fuck up that badly?
Yeah well
I drive around 2 mountains and a national forest to get to work. Takes 20 minutes.
You know how urban centres are typically terrible anyway?
True.
I mean where the fuck else in the world do you have “turn right from the left” like we do here?
Hahaha
Melbourne is a terribly planned city with planners apparently huffing paint when they drawing the blueprints
Probably hired on representation and not merit.
For the last 15 uears
Fuck as much as I hate Sydney at least the shit is organised properly
Gotta give it props for that
Authoritarian hellscape.
Can't get a beer after midnight.
I'd rather sit in traffic for 50 minutes
