Hello.

1) Swedish (Nordic, in general) people are a lot different to Australians and are far less multicultural than us (less Chinese, for instance, who have different ideas on how to make money & save money - by living 10 people to a room for instance - compared to Westerners). Very few people rip-off the (heavily-taxed) system in Sweden.

2) NSW Railcorp allows monthly tickets to be transferrable. Hence no photo..
