In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
The very shiny new Bankstown metro station, on the Southwest Sydney metro that opened last Friday.
Unfortunately, the destinations on the train didn't come up, but they say "Bankstown".

I always find it crazy to see people paying per ride. Around here, the norm for everyone using public transport regularly are monthly tickets.
Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok are all per ride, super easy to use though
for tourists maybe, but for commuters monthly tickets (or fuck it, get a yearly one) are completely 0-thought in a zone system.
Buy the right ticket at the start of the period and never worry about it unless you need to go somewhere else.
I just used it as a baseline, since weekly and monthly passes can get complicated (see DC)
