Melbourne Metro users had a tough time getting home but it was all worth it for this Twitter thread
Who would become mayor of your commuter carriage?
A computer fault ground Melbourne’s train system to a halt during rush hour, causing commuters to vent their frustration online.
Commuters crowded into stations around the city as they waited for the trains to begin running, using the hashtag #metrofail to talk about their woes.
One particular Twitter user kept a record of his carriage forming its own society in the packed conditions of a train he was on.
Patrick even hopped on the latest meme trend to illustrate goings-on in the packed carriage.
So what other steps did the new citizens of carriage-ville take to from their new society?
Then, all of a sudden, there was a power vacuum.
It was a pretty fun way to pass the time, and a lesson in anthropology.
The train service eventually reached full operational capacity at around 10pm.
