Sorry Tony, but Daniel Bowen has it right. The free tram zone just
clogs up trams with people who could easily walk a couple of blocks but
choose not to.
A free zone ticket for tourists and eliminating the free ticket for
locals would be a good compromise.
Locals who travel to and from the city by public transport already have
a 'free ticket'.
As I have said before longer trams just won't work on the two main north
south routes in Swanston & Elizabeth Sts - their length means that only
one tram at a time could fit in the tram stops and that would destroy
the timetable.
William St gets away with E class because there is only one route using
the street.
Mal Rowe - trusting local knowledge.
