Vancouver-Canada, Vs Sydney-Australia

Esta opinion fue publicada en un Foro cuando le preguntaron a alguien sobre Canada Vs Australia. Esta persona ha vivido en los dos paises:

"Vancouver could learn a lot from Sydney and its ferry system. If Canada Place was developed like Circular Quay, as a central dock for commuter ferries, you'd be able to take a fast ferry from Port Moody, Dundarave, Point Grey or wherever to connect with buses and trains. Don't turn the defunct fast ferries into casinos! Modify them so they can be used as quick, high volume passenger ferries to circumnavigate the lower mainland's clogged roads. Vancouver has been been transit challenged ever since GM screwed the city out of its tram/train system in the 50s. To this end, Sydney rules.

Australian cities generally seem to have a more enlightened approach to public transit than Canada do. Probably because they're not next door to the world's biggest auto-driven society. Sydney has the ferries, Melbourne its trams and Adelaide has its 'Adelaide OBahn, a unique guideway that allows buses to travel on their own tracks at high speed, as well as independently. Imagine B-line buses on SkyTrain tracks, driving off at either end! (Except Adelaide's system doesn't actually leave the ground.)

Both cities are just as beautiful, i think vancouver lacks in weather and in coastal scenary (sydney has beaches) but vancouver does have a lovely harbour and it does make up in other areas."
