I covet my TimeOut Sydney. So much so, that come Wednesday morning nothing can stop me from rushing out the door and snatching up the latest edition. Today, I flip through the pages to see that a photo I sent in a few weeks ago has won the City snaps competition! My prize is a free year's subscription. Yippee! I've thought about it, and I can't decide which is more ironic - submitting a picture that made absolutely no sense to me, or having my 15 minutes in the spotlight as "Anne Kent".
Anyway, You decide. I guess I'm just happy that I caught this shot while on the train back from Mardi Gras a couple of weeks ago. Someone had placed red tape over part of the billboard as some sort of social commentary. I Googled a bit, and discovered that Sydney's rail system is widely lambasted as the world's worst. Ouch. In an attempt to improve the over-burdened system, the city is spending $1.5 billion to create more rail lines (clearways) that will attempt to keep things running when individual lines break down. Most Sydneysiders think this is just another band aid and the whole thing needs to be overhauled. Today's transportation trivia brought to you by Anne Kent.
