In Australias most populated city, the commuter train network has completely collapsed over the past 2 weeks. I'm surprised no one here is talking about it.

No real explanation or resolution as of yet but heres a basic run down.

New scheduling increased the amount of trains on the network, even using 40 year old EMUs on the most busy city lines. Mass congestion and other factors (understaffed, strikes, older less reliable trains) have lead to ~50% of the services cut days with no trains running on certain days.

Sydney trains has advised people who commute for work to take their leave.
