The scene unfolded right in front of Leeds Street near Footscray Station yesterday - a delivery driver had parked their car directly on the tram tracks, bringing the route 82 service to a complete standstill. Today’s follow-up footage showed the driver sprinting back to their vehicle, probably realizing the magnitude of their inconsiderate decision.

This incident perfectly encapsulates a growing issue in our city: the “me first” mentality that seems to be taking over our streets. It’s particularly frustrating because it impacts hundreds of commuters who rely on our public transport system. The tram driver, showing remarkable patience, was forced to wait while this individual apparently thought their temporary parking needs superseded the movement of an entire tram full of passengers.
