when something is free, as the city circle tram is, I am always resolving to make use of it, even at some
inconvenience.
Months go by without checking that loop…
when I do use it, I am sure it will point to neglected aspects of inner Melbourne.
Two afternoons back we took tram 55 and got off at the zoo, only to be told
Too Late to see the baby elephant - come again, and earlier…
Not the trams' fault…
