You're not wrong there, Sydney Airport is the only place I know that
sells coke cans from vending machines for $2.

But a train has to be an improvement on the Taxi's - on a recent trip
with some work colleagues, some of us ummed and arred about hiring a
car, went to several car rental places, finally decided on hiring one,
organised it, picked it up, and as we drove out, past the Taxi queue we
waved at our colleagues who were still waiting!  I am sure even City
Rail can provide better service.
