After one or two stops, the Yarra Tram officers 'appeared' in the tram to check our tram tickets...
I was sitting in front.
Of course i showed my monthly ticket which expires on the 1st of September.
The guy sitting diagonally next to me didn't have a tram ticket.
He sounded sick with a coarse voice, but he looks punk, with his weird hairstyle and ring piercing on his face.
A kind, middle-aged lady quickly bought a tram ticket, and handed to him.
The guy was shocked, but received the ticket and said 'thank you'.
The Officer with his long cloak saw the scene.
He gave a 'lecture' to the lady who tried to be 'smart'.
He said that although what she is doing is a good deed, but her action is against the law, because she is helping someone who offended the law.
The officer even took out his 'note-pad-like-book', flipped to the rules and regulations page, and showed the sentence to the lady which indicates that she could be reported due to her 'kindness'.
I think the punk-looking guy felt bad.
He was still holding the tram ticket the lady gave him to 'save him'.
The officer took the ticket, and returned it to the lady, and said that he would not report her action, but she have to take back the ticket.
The lady took back the ticket and felt sorry for the guy.
Of course the guy thanked her.
But i'm sure he is in trouble after that.
Then, i left the tram.
I don't know what happened next.
But it was very interesting to see something like that happening on the tram in Melbourne.

that's very generous of her. we will never find any scene like this back in Malaysia though.
Maybe there is, but not in our sight... ^v^
