Flew in yesterday. Qantas seats were small, 30 inch pitch 17 wide. Tiger and Jetstar supposedly wider at 18, but even more packed at 29 pitch. We got a free meal on a 1.5 hour flight, a half-pastrami sandwich for me and 140 grams of chicken pie (heated) for the guy next to me.
I quickly got an idea why Sydney has higher transit mode share than Brisbane: trains out were 7-8 minutes, 15 after 10 PM, vs. "every 30 minutes and sometimes 15". Central Station has 25 platforms. Base fare is $2.24 on bus, $3.61 train, longer with distance, but there's a daily cap of $16.10, or $50 for a Monday-Sunday 7 day period. Not counting airport fares ($19). $2.80 cap on Sunday, the website says, which is less than a single train fare!
Timetable says my local train runs every 10 minutes to midnight, slowing down a bit to 1:16 AM. Google disagreed.
333 bus runs every 3 minutes, or a bit less, to 11 PM. Other buses seem more like 30 minutes buses.
Intersections are still annoying, I timed 80 seconds to cross with the light. Which is better than Brisbane...
Sydney is on DST, so I have to remember that solar zenith is around 1PM now. Also webcomic update time is now 3PM or later...
