When I went to Bangkok last year I was extremely impressed with their mass transit system. For a developing country it was just as good as anything you’d see in a first world country and in many cases arguably better.
Then I look at the state of Melbourne PT and I can’t help but be a little disheartened.
Honestly, Melbourne’s network isn’t bad. Perth’s trains are far superior, but limited in coverage compared to Melbourne. We don’t have trams any more, which is a crying shame.
Sure, the Melbourne network could be better, but it’s the best in the country.

Perth’s trains and buses are so clean. Riding the trains was a blast because of the scenery. My favourite was the busport. Outstanding.
Taking the train up along the Kwinana Fwy with the Swan to one side in its blue glimmering beauty… Always a highlight.
