I ordered an uber from one side of the Sydney CBD to the other.

We got to talking about ubers situation in the CBD. He told me he doesnt normally accept fares in the CBD because he gets pushed around by the police. As he was saying that, a motorcycle cop ordered him to pull over for an inspection. I thanked him and decided to walk the rest of the trip.

Anyway, now armed with the reason I couldn't get an uber reliably in the CBD I found that Uber into the CBD, taxi out of the CBD was the best way forward.

Or, you know, public transport...

I mean if I am in the Sydney CBD I am there for work. I usually need access to a variety of suburbs, the airport and the CBD itself for various work engagements. I need to be on time, and spend ideally less than 45 minutes in transit between engagements.

When I am on my own time in Sydney, I have an opal card and will train everywhere possible.

He said “best” not barely adequate at the best of times.

Uh, if you're in Sydney CBD, public transport (train/light rail) or even walking is faster than any kind of motor vehicle in my experience (this assumes that you have no mobility affecting disability, in which case use what you need to use).

I lived and worked in the city. I did not find this to be the case at all. (I had a motorcycle).
