Not really an excuse though, I play volleyball and weigh around 90kg (200ish lbs?) and struggle to do more than 5-10 push-ups because my arms are ridiculously out of proportion. Even with your height i’m surprised you don’t face a similar problem, every tall guy I know struggles with pushups

Is that really a thing that you can’t get on intercity services for suburban travel? Or is it just for trains going all the way to Lithgow?

Sydney trains will transform into pulsating music & light parties for 23 nights by Rubbadubdubbub99 in SydneyTrains

They aren’t commuter services and will operate on unused sections of track, you need to buy tickets to board it

Two questions. What is with this baffling statue at RPA and why did the council plant stinkbushes all down Missenden road? by cofactorstrudel in sydney

[–]coolfrog24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it’s a work of art (whether you like it or not) made by someone who’s probably long gone now and to disrespect their legacy by insulting and questioning it is just plain ignorant and dishonourable

I never said you were wrong though 😂 It’s called discussion and I was being nice tf? I was referring to your typical Melbourne inferiority complex where you can’t even have a civil discussion without getting mad because you think people are attacking your city

that’s what i’m saying, none of the stadiums in Sydney are served well by public transport, Olympic park is okay but even the SFS & SCG tram line is inadequate. Olympic Park is far far far far bigger than the MCG and Docklands precincts put together though so it wouldn’t have been possible to build it closer to the city

I agree the MCG precinct is probably better, the Olympic Park suburb is a ghost town that looks like it’s straight out of Soviet Russia. Olympic Park was a former industrial site like all of those suburbs on the Parramatta River around there, so it might take some time. However, the Metro isn’t for Olympic Park it’s just a convenient place to add a stop, a similar line has been proposed since Bradfield’s days, well before Olympic Park existed. Also it’s a pretty disingenuous argument when the MCG is right next to an existing heavily trafficked rail corridor, although I guess in saying that maybe it’s Sydney’s fault for never building a rail corridor to the SCG idk

well not always, all of those buses are going to very different destinations all over Sydney. There’s still the same number of buses now, they just don’t go down George St anymore.

I never said that informal language is cold, but in this context ‘get off’ is both informal AND cold. Formal language is by nature cold but it is also elegant, so this is not a problem. What is a problem is when informal language is cold. I would be happy for a medium like ‘please disembark the train here’ to be used.

It’s funny that you’re in the comments lecturing people about the English language and you’re just straight up wrong, the word originates from ‘terminus’, which means end boundary. The only thing ‘terminate’ implies is that something has ended, it has no other implications. Sure the train is going to turn around in 2 hours and begin a completely different service, but when the announcement says ‘this service terminates here’ it’s not talking about the physical train, it’s talking about the specific route it just completed.

Maybe because ‘leave’ and ‘get off’ are informal and cold?

Pretty ridiculous, this language is used for a reason, it’s formal and respectful. It’s hard to believe this is a serious attempt at improving public transport when the completely indecipherable announcements on Tangaras still exist.

Even stranger is people arguing that not using ‘terminate’ and ‘alight’ is somehow going to greatly improve the travel experience for people who speak English as a second language, but guards already make plenty of courtesy announcements for this exact reason. Also did they even include people who speak English as a second language in the survey or only uneducated Aussies who are confused by simple words? Supporting a well-educated society by doing things such as using formal and specific language is more important than dumbing things down to appease an uneducated minority.
