'Mode': AROUND
Category: Train
Getting TO/AROUND: I need to begin with a big "thank you" to VT member Craic who sent me this photo of the actual vehicle I describe in this tip. (I had orignally included some random train, which made the whole tip kind of confused.) [Q shoots a "thumbs up" to Craic.]
Craic also clued me in to the fact that while this conveyance is officially called the "light rail" and that signs in the street direct passengers to the "light rail," the locals know it as the "tram," and that the stops are, in fact, called "tram stops" both officially and colloquially. Go figure. (At least I'm not alone in my tram/train/rail confusion!)
So without further ado, the tip itself....
The light rail is a transportation network for getting around in the central part of Sydney. It's not a commuter system at all, but it is useful if you arrive in Sydney at the Central Station railway terminal since you can get the light rail from there to a number of stops where hotels are located. And it's also good for getting to some of the green areas at the very back of the harbour such as Federal Park and Jubilee Park.
