    Sydney public transport meltdown

    Far be it for a QLDer to put excrement on NSW, but, if you can't run your transport system, you can't run an NRL grand final.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Apparently caused by a cane toad on the track.

    Too many people in Greater Sydney. A Final Solution is called for. Reduce the population to the number that can be adequately catered for by existing infrastructure.

    Good old Peter Beattie. Got Giltinin's name wrong, but sacrificed himself for the better good.

    Easy to say when you live in Brisbane.
    Who and how do we choose to send to your city?
    The new infrastructure in Sydney was started too late but it will be a huge step forward.
    The next phase of the rail network expansion is next.

    Send them to New Zealand. much of Sinny's population came from there.

    Best part of Snydney is the road out , i took it in 1973 and never looked back . I would not relocate back to the dump even if given a free overpriced house . I cry tears of brine when i go back to visit rellies and see what has become of the place . .

    Still love Sydney Harbour and the Manly Ferry though . .

    I feel a little the same - I grew up there, but haven't lived there since early 1962, but visit there (mainly for medical reasons, as almost all my relatives and friends are either dead or moved out) a couple of times a year.

    I left ****ty Sydney in May this year.
    Hated going anywhere towards the city when delivering for woolies(toll has contract with them for the last 15 years+). The traffic,construction,population and usual traffic
    mess had become enough for me to want out, to what used to be a very enjoyable job.
    The boys would have had plenty of o/t last night with the shamozzle on the railways and the roads clogged with extra traffic.
    With the construction of the airport at Kemps creek and the upgrade of Northern Rd now in progress,that will be the next bottleneck until its finished.

    Thankfully retirement was looming so I hung it out until I retired in July.

    The last 2 months of work was LSL and holidays in Tassie where I now reside.

    cheers

    I first left in 1968 and headed to the Pilbara in the west , got a little homesick & went back in 1970 but left again in 73 . was still a good place back then .
