Training the Laggard

We Sydney-siders are used to a train system that is absolutely pathetic. The trains never come on time - that is if they do come at all. There are not enough trains and they take forever to get to us to Uni and Office. It indirectly resulted in the Transport Minister getting fired.

Well, as of Sept 4 a new timetable came in and since then (shock horror) the trains have been on time and they do appear. They are more frequent now. However this has one serious problem as eloquently stated by Mr. Richard Handa (Sydney Morning Herald 10/9/05):

I am fed up with this system, I am going to work late now because I can't count on the trains being late, I keep missing them and this is a serious flaw in the Rail System - someone better fix this up!


Couldn't have said it better myself!
