One of my impressions of Australia was a clean and efficient country - and yet everybody was still so laid back. A great place.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
Although the system did collapse a couple of years, for a week no-one knew where the trains were or their destination. I recall waiting for hours. Stressful time

One of my most amusing railway moments was when I once tried to buy a ticket in the main railway station in Geneva - Swiss railways are the archetype of efficiency. Their computer system was down and they couldn't issue tickets!

I was quite impress when I saw MetroRail inspectors with their handheld, touchscreen ticket machine which issues tickets. Very sophisticated
