We have our normal commuter trains called metro which are always late and the line I have to catch, the train comes every 20 min. Compared to Japan when they are 95% on time and come almost every 5 min on every line. And the only real type of express train we have is Vline and compared to other express train it is really bad.
Nooo! I wont have that! I'm in Melbourne too and I think we have a very adequate public transport system especially the rail network, the biggest flaw to me is the myki ticketing system is horrible but the trains themselves are very good. Due to the size of Australia and small passenger numbers a super fast train is just not viable when airfares are cheaper than ever, we do have the xpt from Melb to Syd which is a fairly fast British HST.
