    Ahh yes, take a bus that requires two connections and results in a nearly 2h trip to avoid 30 minutes of driving.

    Public transport is absolute dog shit everywhere in Australia.

      i agree it can be a bit inconvenient at times, but realistically public transport isn’t dogshit everywhere, I’d say it would be half-half, some areas expand commute time, some drastically collapse it.

      talking in absolutes when it comes to public transport being slow or fast, or good or bad, is a bit foolish if not supported by anything or specified by location.
