Or, if you’re from Sydney, you’ll best recognise the title as the infamous Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra line. That’s about it for my knowledge on public transport in Australia.
If you’ve been to Tokyo, or any city with functional and efficient infrastructure and public transport, this image is fairly commonplace.
This train isn’t your typical beaten up, graffiti ridden Tangara carting thousands of people daily to and from their places of work in Sydney city.
This is a Japanese metro line, one of the most proficient rail systems in the world. No longer than a 2 minute wait for a train, without a doubt. No delays or off days, no disruptions or kids yelling at one another for attention.
Best of all? You can drink beer on them, too. But eating? You better save that for when you get to where you’re going. No one wants to watch you stuff your face on their commute.
