Tramatic Sydney

Nothing says Sydney central at the moment than these temporary litter bins as a fixture in the landscape. The length of George Street from Central to the Quay, appears as an abandoned worksite with odd bits of unused equipment, half finished concrete works and building material littering the thoroughfare.  Big streams of pedestrians move slowly on the narrowed sidewalks. Every intersection the passage is a snarl of angry honking motorists queing across the CBD. 

The new Eastern Suburbs light rail network was due for completion next year but, with contract issues, cost overruns and poor planning the most optimistic prediction is at least another year.

Pity the NSW Government ripped the most extensive tram network in the Southern Hemisphere up in 1961(above) to give more room to those motorists. SMH article
