Quill Depot Posted August 14, 2012 Share #2 Posted August 14, 2012 Great pics and vids! How do you pay for the Light Rail/Streetcar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakenhamtrain Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted August 15, 2012 Great pics and vids! How do you pay for the Light Rail/Streetcar On board the tram there is a ticket machine. Although if you have a train or bus ticket within the right Zone(s) you can travel on it. Our ticket systems (Metcard and Myki) are multi modal. It's all going to change when Myki comes in fully. Metcard machines arn't being replaced with thier Myki counterparts despite a wearhouse full of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooth Posted September 17, 2012 Share #4 Posted September 17, 2012 Wow amazing stuff. I have a really good friend that lives there. She told me to visit so I am considering it next year. How did you like it? I know it's winter there since its south of the equator. You recommend? I always wanted to visit Sydney as well. Hope you enjoyed it. The equipment looks good & as usual more advanced than ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakenhamtrain Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share #5 Posted September 17, 2012 How did I like it. Well I would be a bit bias seeing as I live here. I would reccomend coming down under. There's plenty to do from a transport persective. Going for a Ride on a W class is a must. Although the City Circle can be a bit squishy at times. They run on the 30 and 78 during weekdays and both those routes arn't that busy. The train and tram fleets both look better than they did about 5 years ago. Sydney is also nice aswell. Different to Melbourne with double decker trains and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
