Disgraced Liberal Tim Smith would seem to be learning the ropes of public transport since returning to Melbourne following a stint overseas in London.

A photo appeared on Twitter on Friday – seemingly originating from a Kew facebook group – of what appears to be the former loudmouth opposition frontbencher and self described “idiot” waiting for a tram in his electorate.

Gone is his Jaguar and in its place is the No. 48 tram.

If it is not Smith, he has a doppelganger riding the local PT system.

Smith disappeared from the spotlight in the wake of crashing his car into a Hawthorn home on the night of October 30 and returning a breath test reading of 0.131 – almost three times the legal blood alcohol limit.

His licence was immediately suspended and he was fined $750.

Smith is not contesting the next election.
