Ferry's are such an acceptable way to travel when done right. We don't really have the right geography for it in melbs, but they're so awesome

Also I noticed the sheer amount of people they have up here in the public transport sector here. They still have conductors ("guards") on the trains + a station staff member who whistles and raises a white flag signalling the conductor to signal the driver to go. It does seem like potentially a bit of overkill, and also the whistles are so damn loud I have a headache, but I still think that's a better option than the one we went with (privatising everything which of course results in literally everyone being sacked except the absolute bare minimum they need to run things)
