Writer's Block: Public Transit Nightmare
Sydney's Shitty Rail....er...City Rail has never been a particularly pleasant experience. Scheduled trains were always being cancelled or arrived late/early. If you had to take a train from a minor station, you might have to wait up to an hour in those situations for the next train to arrive. The worst experience I've ever had was during peak hour and there were some "technical difficulties" along the rail after I boarded the train, which resulted in me being stuck between 2 stations with no escape route. That lasted for almost 2 hours which made me hungry and cranky. I got off at the subsequent (minor) station just to avoid being trapped again, which was just as well because the trains were piling up and moving very slowly. Thank God for boyfriends with cars.
