Idk they've made it such that when you press the button to open the door the door will not open unless you press the button again when the train is stopped. At least on the N*Rs. Probably a safety feature or something but I don't like it so it's woke.

My turn.

I have a yeast infection on my face and it's all red, pimply, flakey and itchy. I want my old face back. Someone save me from these woke yeast that are out of control and shitting all over my beautiful face.

At least because it's woke we know it will go broke at some point /s

On metro trains (melb) you can hold down the button and the door will open as soon as the train stops. Gets the door open optimally fast whenever I am doing a public transport speedrun

When I got to Melbourne, you opened the door manually like a barbarian. They eventually upgraded the door motors to behave like this.

On Perth trains, you push the button to indicate that you want the door to open. Works either from inside or outside the train and the door opens when the train comes to a stop.

The manual doors were good for keeping the elderly riff-raff off the trains. Good workout as well.

I honestly found this joke rather weak and obvious. But I won’t lie, "N*Rs" is pretty bloody clever.

To people outside of Brisbane it probably just looked racist but 🤷 the line was there and I had to take it

It my experience. I don’t normally catch the train but had cause to use the AirTrain and Redcliffe lines on Friday and Monday. Once the button lights up you can press it and the doors open automatically once the train stops.

I don't know enough about trains to understand the joke.

I actually don't think I've been on a train since the 90s. All I really remember is that they smelled like wee.
