Gladys B gone with the wind

Before Covid struck Melbourne, Dan’s ace transport planning department didn’t plan for over 150,000 international students living and working in the CBD and inner city areas and using trams everyday. The tram network just about collapsed. If there was a problem, Dan would just blame the private operator. It was impossible to get on a tram in the mornings or afternoons as they were so full. I would wait and wait for a tram on St.Kilda Road at 5.30pm before deciding to leg it. The other problem was that as the trams were so packed, no one could get to the machines to tap on, so the majority of international students became fare evaders. LOL. This was typical of the way Dan’s departments ran in the socialist paradise.

The light rail systems in Gold Coast, Adelaide, Newcastle and Canberra have been total flops as no one uses them. A case of one upmanship or my dick is bigger than yours. Keeping the inner city Greens happy as we aren’t apparently using cars. Hahaha

THe Gold Coast system is well patronised, I rode on it recently; so successful, they need to extend it.
Adelaide's line has been around for almost 90 years, and recently upgraded, it just needs more development along the line to take advantage of it. Canberra's patronage is building up well, and will improve when the xtensions are built.
Newcastle's is a flop, will only improve if it is extended.
Sydney's eastern lines were carrying 1.5M per month prior to the lockdown, how is that not successful?

That's not a Melbourne or Dan issue. If you look at Sydney it's the same. Before Covid, every morning people would be fighting to get onto the lightrail from Central station. After office hours the same happens in the other direction. Many times ppl gave up and found that it was faster to just walk to their destination or take a bus or the normal train.

Another note is why in this day and age are we still using such a old an outdated technology like trams ?? It takes forever to go from Central to Circular Quay. The same trip on normal trains would have ferried like 5 round trips and more easily. Plus underground trains won't cause any traffic accidents with cyclist, cars, etc.
