      Is this a replacement bus? The shutting down of various train lines in the west will be adding to the traffic woes. I believe Dynon Road is closed too, another way to cross the river.

      • A lot of Melbourne isn’t served very well by public transport
      • Melbourne public transport largely assumes you’re travelling to or from the CBD – if you aren’t, it can be effectively useless
      • Standard business hours a thing so that you know other businesses will be open around the same time, facilitating communication, so everyone needs to get to work in a relatively short time window

    In today’s instance of messed up dreams, I had a very vivid and lengthy one about an insane weather event where BOM predicted it would go down to -26 and -28 in Melbourne over the weekend (just the weekend!) and the forecast recommended in the strongest terms that everybody stay indoors as much as possible. Then in the dream I went to the DT and everyone was losing their shit and people were sharing info of which supermarkets still had stock of anything and locations of official “cold shelters” operated by councils for people to take refuge in if needed. The Alps were being evacuated and there was talk of crop failures and potential deaths in the thousands. It was very real in my head.

    It wasn’t even that cold this morning!

    For a $500k property to be bought some time in the next few months, is it really true the monthly mortgage repayment is starting at like $3500?
