It should be pointed out that it was Sydney's decision to make the trip of such
design that it requires you to be on the ground to raise or lower it.
Melbourne's trips can very easily and safely be raised or lowered without
getting on the ground. comeng's can even be operated from the cab without
leaving your seat.
