I feel like it doesn't get said enough so I need to reiterate this to the universe but the lanes on Bell St west of Sydney Rd are TOO DAMN NARROW

Just discovered that some of my comments aren't being posted even though it looks like it from my end. Can anyone see this?

I've just been going year by year on my Google Timeline to see how far I've travelled each year. I know some people find this sort of thing creepy that your phone keeps a record of places you've been, but I find it really useful and valuable.

2020 the furthest place I went to was Albury and that wasn't until December. It's almost as if something happened that year that kept me at home. 2016 the furthest was Sydney but every other year since it has been tracking me (2012 when I moved from iPhone to Android) I've managed to get up to Queensland or travel internationally, so I'm doing alright.

If anyone is taking a look at theirs.. check out August 2020. I actually didn't go beyond our mandated 5km limit the entire month! I went to Costco x 1, Woolworths x 1, Pizza Hut x 1, KFC x 1 and my apartment for the entire rest of the month!

Anyone experience the Frankston line disruptions?

PTV website says to go to the Art's Centre to get a bus to Moorabbin, but then I keep getting told by them to take the Sandringham train to Brighton beach and take a bus from there to Moorabbin. That actually adds an extra 15-20 minutes to my travel rather than an express bus to Moorabbin from Art's Centre.

Anyone know why they keep telling us to go Sandringham line instead? Is the Art's Centre bus not actually running?
