a trip from waringah mall to wynyard:

speaking in round figures,bus from "the mall" to manly is about 20
minuites, a jetcat has a runtime of 15 minuites manly - quay, then the
changeover onto a train to wynyard, changeover if you get a train
immediately (<rofl>) takes anywhere upto 5minuites then another 10
minuites by the time you walk up to the interchange (or maybe swim?).

on a bus ther is no changeover but total runtime is about 30mins-1hour
depending on what service you get.

so it's debatable which is better, a bus is cheaper but not as comfy as
a jetcat.
