Some people from Sydney also commented with their thoughts regarding the situation with one writing, "Its only convenient if you live in Sydney. Majority of ticket holders come from outside Sydney and need to find other places to secure their vehicles."
Another noted, "I mean, this would be awesome if we had good mass transportation in all cities. But, we just don’t."
