I usually ride to work on the local trains. It's a couple of stops from Central Station to my suburb. It's never this empty on a workday morning. I took this shot on the way back into town from one of my Sunday morning bike rides. Bikers are supposed to ride in the last car on the train, and since I was also riding from the end of the line, there weren't many others on the train at the time. More than that, it was raining this past Sunday, so ridership was even less than normal.
Still, on the way into town, I've been asked for my ticket every time I've come back into town on this line. I find this interesting because these are the only times I've been asked by Queensland Rail police for my ticket on the train. Oh, sure, it's expected to show a ticket coming and going in downtown train stations, but I've only ever had my ticket checked inbound on these trains. Oddly, this past Sunday, the QR folks found someone without a ticket.
QR runs electric lines for their CityTrain. Fairly quiet, they run on time and run frequently.
