Sydney's ticketing is crap in comparison to a system that has three zones
and covers both rail and bus in the suburban area. Try using both government
and private transport with the one ticket in Sydney. You can't. Thats the
reason why I gave up travelling by "simple multi modal" transport 5 years
ago.
