    Re: Free metros

    Taxes would go through the roof though (for transport I mean)


    I'm with you on the food though.



    Free transport is a fairy tale mate...

    I wasn't being at all serious.

    "It's madness" is something I've stolen off people on here. :lol:

    I used to skip it occasionally but now I use it daily for work it's not really worth it as I see inspectors quite regularly. I get a £250ish yearly pass which does the trick nicely even if it is a bugger to have to shell out on. :D

    tbh i rarelly pay for the metro as it really does depend where ure going and what time ure going!

    if im going into town ill pay, but going other places 2 work first thing in the morning id take the risk as ive never seen any on between wallsend n percy main in the morning and if im coming back from work and there on ill wiat for the next train.


    but wor lass always drives me 2 and from work as she works near by which is sweet

    i used to occasionally skip it but got caught, and i've paid ever since.

    thankfully though, i hardly ever use it - i hate it.

    I travelled from central to sunderland for work for 9 month and never paid.

    But one morning shit loads of inspectors got on on pelaw on my carriage and they blocked the doors. Anyway one came over to me and asked for my ticket. So I thought thats it Im fucked now. So I quickly got out my single ticket I had in my pocket for my bus to town and said " day saver mate". He just looked at it and said nae bother. It blatantly said £ 1.50 on it:lol: :lol:

    Anywhere past Pelaw to Sunderland and normally its fine. Its when you head to town and beyond central youre fucked.

    The other week I was at Byker early in the morning and saw the metro opposite pull up with a load of inspectors. The doors opened and some nerdy looking office bloke legged it as fast as he could, only to be grabbed by his trailing rucksack.

    Having no ticket and no money I had to walk to the garage next to morrisons and get some money out as they were fucking everywhere. By the time I got back all the inspectors were stood round while two police officers patted said bloke down, searched him and issued some kind of on the spot fine. :lol: He was absolutely shitting himself.

    You see some class stuff at the metro stations, I once saw an odd looking bloke pull up a folding chair, get out a book and start reading it while he waited for the metro. Then he carried it onto the metro, unfolded the chair and proceeded to sit in the middle of the aisle reading his book, while nearly all the chairs were free. :lol:

    I also remember bracken showing me a piss funny video of some old bloke who squeezed up on the end of him and katies two seats and proceeded to smoke "plastic tabs" and wear Bret The Hitman Heart glasses. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

    When I was at school, once got the metro to town from the airport and the machine gave me a blank ticket, with a tiny bit of smeared ink on it, used that for about 2 years!!
