If you've ever wondered where the .io domain name comes from, it's this place (it refers to British Indian Ocean Territory).

@samhkennedy @ajsadauskas @fuck_cars surely it's because of the cycle lanes?

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars yes but the idea of using individual cars as mass transit is just incredibly innovative. City Nerd's review is worth a watch to understand the true genius involved https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfVdge8DhB4

@ajsadauskas @RM_Transit @fuck_cars totally agree. there is no excuse for work not to start immediately on upgrading the tracks between Campbelltown and Mittagong. That will have significant benefits for freight and passenger services to both Canberra and Melbourne
