To be fair to Sydney, in one two week period I travelled on bus,
train, ferry, and shanks pony. The combination got me everywhere, and
I am dead certain it was a lot faster than if I'd used a car ( I dread
the thought).

I was up there a few weeks ago and it is still a first class system

You can get some great fares, I nearly fell over, Chatswood to Wyong,
$4.50 return on a Sunday, this was about 1990.
