Yet another stellar example of public transport customer service…

Four inspectors were travelling on the tram to the city this morning.  They’re regulars on the tram but never check tickets because they seem to work on another line and don’t start work until they have to so our tram is just their transportation.  They don’t usually sit down because they’re employees and seats should go to paying passengers.

Today though, two of them avoided sitting down by standing in the doorway which made it hard to get in and out.  The doorway is split in two with access either side of a rail.  One inspector leaned against the doorway with the hand on the rail so people boarding the tram were forced to crouch down under his arm because it was at head-height.

The other inspector slouched in such a way that people boarding or alighting on his side of the handrail had to press up against him.  The way he was slouching meant passengers were basically forced to rub against his crotch if they didn’t want to play “oranges and lemons” and crouch down to get under the arm of the other inspector.
