Default Are You a Transperth Commuter?

Well, as some of you know, I live in Joondalup. And thanks to the rail works for the new Mandurah Rail line, I had to be at the station this morning at 6:50, and on the train at 7:00 from Joondalup. We stopped for 10mins at Warwick because of congestion, 10mins at Stirling because of congestion, then got off at Glendalough along with 3000+ other people to file onto the busses that were to take us the rest of the journey into the city. Sounds simple, but in the pooring rain, it was chaos. I am drenched from head to toe. AWESOME!

But, thankfully, i made it to work on time... 8:30 and I was walking into the foyer of my Adelaide Tce Building sopping wet.

Going to be a fun trip home

I think tomorrow I might drive. The parking at Langley Park isn't that full still, and at only $5.00 a day if you have a passenger, I think its the best way!! Just have to swing past work and pick up an employee to whore with me while I park

Anyone else have the pleasure of travelling up the Joondalup Line this morning, or come from Freo end?

I negotiate "Ord Street"/ W Perth every morning. Has to be one of the craziest parts of town. The "suits" that drive through there in their +$100k Merc's/ BMW's/other euro something, have no regard for anybody else. And dont get me started on the Cat drivers - OMFG!

As for how long it takes to get to work - 10-15 mins tops! Sorry Kum, but bugger living up there in south Gero...too far from normality
