By the skin of our teeth
You may recall that when we first took our iBurst card out for a tram ride, we forgot to validate our ticket. This morning, heading for a Sony launch in Little Bourke St, we took the 96, and settled down to check the Inbox and inspect the blog.
Somewhere near the casino - our attention was distracted - an Indian gentleman wearing a yellow and black Polo Sport jacket, T-shirt and jeans took up a post at the door, then, as we took off, flashed a badge in Bleeding Edge's face, and asked to see our ticket.
Fortunately, this time, we'd validated a daily ticket.
Another inspector, wearing jeans and grey track suit top, picked up a respectable looking middle-aged lady who unfortunately hadn't.
By the way, the light rail route has terrific reception all the way into the city.

I attempted to set up an iBurst recently. I live in St. Kilda near the Chapel/Carlisle Sts intersection; this is marked as having reception on the iBurst web site.
I left it running for some time it just couldn’t pick up a signal. For people away from the CBD I’d recommend waiting for some time before adopting the technology.
