it depends where u r..

the bigger cities are very easy however the smaller cities in australia probably are not easy. in sydney a big huge population rely on public transport. its very much like new york where its hard to find parking and ppl prefer to use public transport.

example i know for sure in sydney and melbourne..

we have trains,buses,trams and light rail... all 4.. are very good.

trains are the easiest and fastest and cheapest as they work underground. trains normaly come on average every 15 minutes.. in some of the more popular places like cbd etc... the trains come every 2-5 minutes

buses are abit slow and not so reliable because of traffic... they can often be held up in traffic so it can be abit slower however in sydney there is pretty much a bus stop every 5-10 minute walk.. maybe every 500 metres there is a bus stop everywhyere in sydney... of course not including high ways.. haha

they have a websites.. it has timetables..

public transport delays and any other information u need... so its pretty easy

http://www.cityrail.info/ thats the trains

here is buses http://www.sydneybuses.info/

http://www.sydneyferries.info/ for ferries information

those are the 3 main public transport in sydney however there is also light rail/monorAils and trams.

Talking why i look

Here is a nike air rift Nike shoes. Inspired by barefoot runners of Kenya, this trainer/racer offers lightweight flexibility and natural motion. It has the following features: a split toe creates a powerful push-off; four-way stretch mesh ensures a superior fit with moisture-wicking ability; an articulated forefoot enhances balance, control and power; sculpted Phylon midsole cradles the foot, and a heel Air-Sole unit provides impact protection; BRS 1000 Waffle outsole offers primo cushioning, traction and durability. Durable. Versatile. Revolutionary. nike shox r4 was the first air technology developed at Nike, and it changed the way we think about cushioning: encapsulated air to cushion the footstrike in athletic shoes. It remains the standard in impact protection more than 20 years after its debut. It?s great and comfortable using for running and walking,nike shox r4 Please see the pictures for more details. They are the model in the picture.

Bus travel is the most popular way to get around Australia. Buses go virtually everywhere and many bus tickets allow you to hop on and off en route to your destination.

There is a fairly comprehensive network of bus routes with lots of competition on the more heavily traveled routes between Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney and up the east coast to Cairns making it a cheap way to get around.

Once you start to head west from Adelaide, there is less competition between various bus companies and the distances between towns are much longer making it a less cost effective transport option.

Bus travel is split between scheduled bus operators such as Firefly, Premier Motor Services and Greyhound and backpacker buses such as Easy-rider, Oz Experience and the Wayward Bus. Scheduled buses are usually cheaper and run more frequently but the specialist backpacker buses often go to out of the way places that you would otherwise miss out on. Unfortunately some backpacker buses are too organized and feel a lot more like tours, which goes against the whole spirit of backpacking and independent travel.
