OOOOOooooo. Gotta love a new train - and all its…toys? Oh, it’s a new hanging strap design.

Compared to the dirty train covered in graffiti I showed earlier (>30 posts ago), this one’s gleaming! Also from Sydney, Australia. 

Sydney has no transit smart card yet (unlike Melbourne) but has been working on it for a number of years and spent over $13M AUD so far…However, I do like their paper tickets design and names. My train, my bus, etc. puts the public in public transport.

On the right is another Manley Ferry behind us.

The ferry has a bottle refill station. Refill your water bottle for free. The poster on the right reminds you: you don’t have to put up with bad behaviour on public transit.

Manly [passenger] ferry has room for about 8 bicycles, which is already not enough. However, it’s great to find a spot for your bike as you check out the scenery on the 30 min ride from Circular Quay to the north shore’s Manly Wharf.
