I don't seem to think that, and as such I'm rather perplexed as to where an individual might have picked up such a bombastically incorrect idea. Yes, there are many things Cityrail could do to improve. Putting air conditioners in all trains within a very short period of time, putting toilets in all trains, hiring absurd amounts of ultimately useless security staff to curb an almost non existent amount of public urination aren't ideas that will lead to any improvement. The State Government on the other hand, has a few good ideas. They realise that before any extensions can be made, a highly developed and highly complex rail network needs to be unravelled a bit, and it's called Clearways. They realise that improvements to rolling stock can only be made incrementally, as such new carriages are being added to our lines pretty damn often. They realise that it's ludicrous to listen to complaints about a train being five minutes late, because people who make those complaints are impatient douchebags who are going to waste more time stuck in traffic lights on the way home.wuddie said:so is there anything at all which the cityrail can do to improve? Nebuchanezzar you seem to think cityrail is perfect and every fault on the train can be fixed if someone moved out of their way to avoid the problem. surely cityrail can do more to fix their problems.
So yeah, I think our train system could be a lot worse. I've not really seen too many problems. Sometimes it gets a little hot, a little intimate on the train ride home but it's bearable and certainly not something to create a fuss over. I mean, I'd much rather reliable, overcrowded trains than unreliable, underserviced, undercrowded trains. Also, sometimes it's a little hot, so I drink a bottle of water. One time a guy sitting a few seats behind me smelled like vomit and took off his shoes to exacerbate the stench, so I switched carriages. I guess my attitude towards it all, is that there's still more to be done, but they're heading in the right direction. In addition to that, people suck.
