Gotta say as someone who's been using the train system for three decades, this shit is badly needed, and has been for some time.
Our train system as is is good for Australia. That's kinda like saying I can beat up denizens of a kindergarten. Go try another country and you'll see why vast works are needed
Oh I'm not denying the need for upgrades etc. In fact, that's kinda my point, that one metro line is kinda small compared to what's needed and yet has been marketed as this massive world changing upgrade. Thus my fear that the political climate will consider it a waste of money and potentially start building more highways or something.
