Rubenerd

I found a pile of old magnetic Adelaide Metrotickets from when I studied there in the late 2000s. Each used to come with a few words of inspiration on the back, which one of our figs got to reading rather intensely.

These were the five that came on this specific card:

You can’t get anywhere unless you start.

Each day comes just once in a life time.

Fear is the parent of cruelty.

Timetable/Route information call the Passenger Transport InfoLine on 8210 1000. Lines open 7am-8pm daily.

Subject to Passenger Transport Act and Regulations and Conditions of Travel.

The first three were more inspirational than the latter two.

Fun story, I thought I recognised these from back in the day. Turns out, the Paris Métro also used the same system. There’s a joke about French rubber-wheeled trains and the Adelaide O-Bahn in there somewhere.
