Side observation: I somehow missed the memo that Melbourne had overtaken Sydney as Australia's biggest city.
@Nath and yet having been in Sydney just recently their PT seems significantly better ๐
I had a back-and-forth with someone about the systems in Melbourne vs. Sydney a few months back. From that conversation, I learned that I need to go back to Sydney and see how it's changed (it's been nearly 11 years since my last visit).
At that point, Sydney's network was definitely an inferior experience. The network was good, but it was stupidly expensive. It was also not good at getting around the CBD, not sure whether that has changed.
@Nath the things I noticed were the city loop seems to cover the CBD pretty well supported by new surface light rail ( limited network), regularity of services, quality of rolling stock, and opal vs Myki
