Melbourne

The majority of my experiences with Melbourne taxis have been fairly pleasant, with friendly drivers who know where they are going. And apart from the lunatic (last night) who bought me into town from the airport, they have been pretty safe.

Tonight, I have spent the last 20 minutes sitting in the back of a taxi while we inch forwards. We are at and intersection, trying to drive straight through. However traffic from both directions on the crossroad keeps going across at the last minute before the light changes, leaving no room for us. Whichever idiot designed this, along with whomever is supposed to be enforcing the road-rules, should be slapped around. And then send to a design course to learn how to set up a traffic system. And there I was thinking Australia was a developed nation? Faster to go places in Bangkok!
