It is so good that people people I speak too, are mostly strangers and by speaking to strangers, you can either leave them feeling, sad, bad, happy or eager to talk to yourself again. If I don't see them again, we have strike a conversation that may have sparked further conversation or even in my case, a published blog.
Today, it was a tense situation that I spoke to a really tired St Marys Train Commuter, who catches trains from Circular Quay to work. It looked like, she wished it 'was Friday today', or is this weeks case, 'Wednesday'. The issue was a non-issue. She allowed myself to sit on the window side of a train carriage seat (I always wonder, why people don't move from the center of the seat to the window, to allow people to sit down), yet 'When asked which train station she was getting off?' with a reply from her as, 'It doesn't matter!' Which is quite right, when I think about it!
So as we made great conversation, this wonderful lady commuter from St Marys suggested that on days like today, when Sydney Trains used Saturday Time tables with extra services for Peak Times, they should charge Saturday/Weekend rates. The time tables for trains from 29/12/14 to and including 2/1/2015 is Saturday time tables as a lot of businesses and government departments have reduce staff levels.
The suggestion from the St Marys Commuter lady is a good idea as it means possibly Sunday rates of $2.50 could be charged in this end of year season, which would financially assist commuters in and around Mount Druitt.
