Not that I've used them, but I think Melbourne is an awesome city, I'm biased though.

Well, since the bloody entire public transport in melb is privatised, it's about twice as expensive as it used to be.
Yeah I suppose I really should say that it's not at all THAT bad, but considering it used to take me 2 hours to get from the s.e. suburbs to latrobe uni, because I needed to get 1 tram, two trains, and 1 bus just to get there. It imprinted on my mind that the service is shit, when actually it's not too bad. There's just not enough of it.
Additionally, my leetle brother has a job cleaning trains (
), and finds all kinds of the most disgusting shit (literally) on them you can imagine. It reminds me that a lot of the inner-city trains are often filthy inside.
Maybe I'm a perfectionist, but I think a lot of problems could be solved by having a really really good public transport system.
