    Some of the cities with complex systems have only been partly done, e.g melbourne with its trrains trams and buses has only trams on the map. Trains were already there, but buses, which are much more num,erous (several hundred routes) haven’t been included.

    The transport lines for Sydney would’ve been sent, but wouldn’t have gotten there in time…
