T (for Tomorrowland) Card


Once upon a time the NSW Government promised a T-card. The card would cover all forms of public transport in the state and simplify our travel. The T-card would be fully operational in time for the Sydney Olympic Games.

Do you remember the Sydney Olympic Games? They were held in 2000, nine years ago and without a T-card in sight. In the meantime the T-card disappeared without trace bar for an ongoing $250,000,000 law suit that is keeping lawyers in the luxury to which they have become accustomed.

Now the NSW Government is having a second go at introducing a T-Card and this time they solemnly inform us there will no delays. Who believes that?

I think they should name this version the F-Card. F for Fantasyland.

  4. Based on your feelings about the T-Card so far, I thought the "F" was going to stand for something more vile. :-)
