REFUND?

anyone hear about the 'supposed' refund given out by connex? i know this is like really old news but they are handing out free tickets to people in possession of a weekly, monthly or yearly tickets to compensate for their crappy service. Sure that is a good gesture but in my terms, these tickets are absolutely useless. You see, as i am a student, i hold a yearly ticket. Now why would i need a free daily ticket? Even if i was to save it and use it next year, there would be no point if im going to buy another yearly ticket again. For people who dont know, the yearly ticket expires on the 28th of February every year. Even if i bought a yearly ticket in Januray or March, it would still expire on the same day. now can anyone explain to me why i would need a free ticket? i basically paid my fare already.
Another thing is, why are ticket fares going up? it would be great if the increase in price means that it fixes the public transport network, but it doesnt. They are sill late and delayed and totally unreliable. Where is all the money going? Certainly not to train maintence. i bet it is going to the wages of all those new ticket inspectors that hang around the station. Let me tell you, at some stations they are standing at the entrances to like mobs, as soon as you get off the train they crowd around you like seagulls asking for your ticket. Why would you need that many? Why is connex being so stingy with the fares when they arent even doing anything about the public transport system? They are just ripping the public off!!

once again...

why no more posts? Connex still sucks monkey balls. Was thinking of registering connexsucks.com, and starting something big up. Man, I hate connex so much. I wish there was another option.

connex sucks badly. Its now the transport crisis to go with the global financial crisis. I just sent off for a refund for the daily fare I wasted today, had to catch a taxi home because all trains packed for nearly an hour.
