Re: Sydney rail system sucks?!?!?!?

["Erika" <torpan@torpan.com>]

But we there must be something in trains runng into the back of
others,leaving the rails,going the wrong lines,travelling at 100kph in
suburban areas...you dont hear these things in other State capitals.It is up
to consumers to get off and ask why are these happening,why havent funds
been directed to maintenance,why the bureaucrats havent drawn to the
attention to the politicans,why staff havent been doing there jobs in a safe
way ...thats the issues which should be being debated.
