    You’d be able to get to work. If you have kids younger than high-school age, or if anyone in the house plays a sport, you have zero chance.

    Not once have I seen someone taking a train to footy or cricket practice.

      Poor kids going to football practice having to carry a grand total of some clothes to change into, completely unthinkable to take transit/bike to the field

      Jesus christ what a joke of a comment

        Yes, footballers are generally a bunch of softcocks. I live next to a footy oval. 100% cars. Mostly monster trucks. It’s a 10 minute walk from the train station.

        Spectators will watch from their cars. They don’t even walk to the fence. Every parent is overweight. None of them actually play.

        Some of the cars come from houses so close that I can see them leave the park and pull into their driveway.
