An American expat is being slammed online for his ‘incredibly bizarre’ gushing take on the quality of Sydney’s public transport.

‘I have just moved to Sydney, and it has one of the best public transport systems I have ever seen,’ said Dylan Grady in a now-viral video on TikTok.

Thousands disagreed with him, but the American stood firm and provided an in-depth explanation for why he believed he was right. 

‘A bulk of the system is just an absolutely large amount of train lines going everywhere in the city,’ he revealed first.

‘If you don’t live near a train station, it is guaranteed that a bus will be able to take you from where you live to the nearest train station – and at the very most, it takes a bus and a train to get to anywhere in the city,’ said Dylan.

Dylan claimed that the trains were ‘very regular’ and a traveller’s maximum wait time was between ten and fifteen minutes.

‘One of the only downsides is that they don’t tend to run later in the night,’ he said sadly.

‘The best part is that for only $9 – which is the maximum price on this line – you can go all the way to different cities such as the Blue Mountains, Newcastle, and Wollongong!’

The American also raved about the city’s ‘robust ferry system’ which operates within Sydney harbour, calling it ‘extremely convenient.’

But thousands disagreed with Dylan’s 5-star reviews. 

‘Sydney has some of the worst and least efficient public transport in Australia,’ noted a young man.

‘How bad was were you lived last to love Sydney’s public transport?’ asked a concerned woman.

‘It’s absolutely terrible,’ another said irrevocably. ‘If one drop of rain hits the tracks, your train is delayed by half an hour.’

Some were willing to make some concessions, but still admitted to the system’s faults.

‘It’s good given the sprawl it has to combat, but it still has a lot of issues,’ said one woman.

‘I wouldn’t say it’s the best … but it’s certainly not the worst,’ added another.

But hundreds came to Dylan’s aid, defending Sydney’s humble transportation system.

‘When I first came to Australia, I was absolutely amazed,’ said one woman. ‘It might not seem great for many, but for Americans – it’s absolutely incredible.’ 

‘Credit where credit’s due … the trains have only been down five times in the last five years.’
