round and round... all day long

I am setting out to travel by bus to work. I already horrified so many Aussies, who asked me WHY WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO DO THIS?? or do you not have ANY other options. I didn't think it was a big deal when I decided to try.

There is an obvious downgrade from the oysters I used in London and it seems the buses aren't AS often. A few issues with the staff not sure of ticketing etc. I take my first trip on Monday morning.
