      Laughs in $22 train ticket from Sydney Airport to Central Station.

      Remember to protect your social services from the neoliberal plague or this could be you.

        I think this deserves a chuckle at most. I visited Sydney with 2 other people, and the train was literally going within 250 metres of the hotel we booked.

        Didn’t take the train because a cab worked out cheaper, absolutely ridiculous.

        Public-private partnerships, not even once…

        The airports can be far away from the city center. I recently paid 10 euros to get to the airport by bus but it was 1h drive. Where I live it’s more like 15 minutes and it’s about 2 euros.
