By chance I have found a way for people to post or share links electronically.....I think you can only get links via PC and not mobile phone. Perhaps someone can test it out.


Steps:

1. Go to this url >> https://www.couriermail.com.au/questnews/digital-editions

That gives you the list of local papers.

2. Open your local or any other paper you wish & scan for any transport related articles.You can even get urls for the conversation sections where people submit feedback on any local issues.

3 Once you find article or comment simply hover over the title or body until you see it highlighted simply double click and it will open up the article in a separate window and then you should see some share/transate links.

eg twitter link:

Check this article:  http://quest.smedia.com.au/westside-news/shared/ShowArticle.aspx?doc=QWSN%2F2018%2F08%2F23&entity=Ar00406&sk=9DF9A94F

Obiously messy urls so shorten them when possible  8)
The date of the article is hidden in that url unfortunately...

4. Once you have the url you can do the usual posting/sharing/quoting etc...

You can pick up a lot of comments and articles...local stuff which doesn't get as much coverage on the main stream sites.
