Melbourne's (and Sydney's) public transport hell

After an eternity I got a reply back from PTV about that White Night disaster.. 3 paragraphs followed by a copy and paste. Yeah OK great it's a random thing and not your fault blah blah, but it would have been nice to make an AUDIBLE announcement so that people inside the train could actually hear it? Since over 75% of people did not hear it. FFS. Sydney's trains have people announcing station names and any problem over a microphone/speaker and anyone sitting inside can hear the messages. I didn't hear a single fucking announcement the whole way. Why is Melbourne's transport still stuck in the 70s and completely retarded? (btw 'retard' is a French word meaning 'slow'). And what station staff? I didn't see any staff at any of the stations. Also during the 15mins the train did not move from Flinders St you couldn't change the sign/board? I was staring at it it whole time and it never showed anything different so I thought it was still goin...

"Instead of spending big on roads – which encourage urban sprawl – Mr Thalis told Domain the government should be increasing investment in public transport and infrastructure which improves cycling and the city’s walkability – and consequently the health of Sydneysiders. " Yeah... Stupid idiots! For fucks sake... Why don't they ask the people: Who likes sitting in traffic for hours every day? Who loves spending ages looking for parking and paying a fortune for it? Who loves fucking up their health and the environment while driving all the time and then complain they have no time to exercise? The problem is all these idiots have never lived in a walkable suburb or city or country(!) and have no idea how NICE it is to be able to walk or bike ride everywhere or just take a short public transport ride.... The country and culture just encourages everyone to live wherever the hell they want (usually outer suburbs bc that's all most ppl can afford) then drive to wor...

Hello Sydney! Hello suburbia and car lovers and shit transport! So I think Sydney's public transport is better than Melbourne's. And it is but only if you compare trains... when you live in the middle of a forest with no transport except fucking shit house buses it's equally shit. It's been 40 mins since I left home and I'm still waiting for a bus. It's 4pm so it's almost peak hour so there should be lots of them. There are no seats, no shade. It's fucking boiling hot and there is a jackhammer across the road going. A bus finally comes and it can't pick anyone up because it's full of school kids. FFS if you want to send your kid to a school 10km from home YOU arrange the transport. It's not a fucking school bus. So then another bus comes along shortly after and there is a driver changeover! Now to take at least 45mins to travel 10km bc your entire suburb has been turned into a fucking gigantic construction zone... So in...
