Germans. Come to Melbourne Australia, and as you get off at the airport realise there is no connecting train to the city. Cabs only.

Brought to you by the cab industry/lobby.

Cab industry is the scum of the world.

Cars can do one.

There is a bus, but yeah, it's a joke.

Yeah but the bus uses the same road as cars so other than being cheaper, you're getting stuck with traffic

Or the one from Sydney that charges you 20 dollars on top of the normal fare just because. I'm on the outskirts of Sydney and I've given up on the train system, they're either delayed, cancelled or running whenever they feel like it unscheduled now

Yeah the strikes and union action hasn't helped either. Just give them what they want so we can go back to regular ish trains lol
