A few months ago, a well dress young man got onto my train and when the ticket guy came to get him ticketed - he handed over his EFTPOS card but the guy couldn't do it that way - you either have to have cash or a pre-paid ticket.
the young man was ratting around in his pockets and briefcase but couldn't come up with the right amount...so I just called out
"how do you need?" and then paid his fare to the city...
the rest of the carriage kept looking at me, as if I was some sort of freak and the young man finally came over to me, wanted my contact but I said "no problems, do a good deed for someone else"
apparently, he never caught the train but had to drop his car off for service in my suburb and then thought "I'll get the train" obviously he hadn't thought through the whole thing - need fare!!
