Impressive CityRail in Sydney....


I went to Ashfield by train this afternoon. Ashfield is the place where tons of Chinese people who are from Hong Kong, Taiwan, China gather. That is why a lot of people go there to buy some Chinese food at cheaper price. Actually, I found out the price out there is cheaper for real. I also went there to give out some resumes for part-time job. Hopefully, I can get some good news soon.

The main point of this post is the Sydney's train which is really impressive for me. This is first time I take train in Sydney because I take bus all the time. The train in Sydney is clear, air-condition, and good broadcasting system. Beside that, There is good design on seat. Unfortuately, I don't have opportunity to shoot a film in order to show you guys. That's a design every row of seat you can switch to the direction you want to sit toward to. Impressive.

Trains beat buses big-time. In the UK I completely avoid buses. I just use the train and my two feet and it serves me very well. I can't stand buses...

Why you can't stand buses? Dirty? Too many people? Too Slow? I am just curious....

They're dirty, they're bumpy, they're slow and they're unreliable (at least in this country). And if there's no-one at the bus stop, the bus won't stop, even if it's 5 mins early, so it's easier to miss them.

Trains keep to their timetables, they go directly to places (buses always take the long way around), they are cleaner, they are quieter, and they are faster. And it doesn't take longer to get home during rush hour.

Buses also attract strange people......
