		Sydney's underground railways do not form a true metro, because they are extensions of suburban main line services and are not a completely segregated system.
		Because the original underground lines were built in conjunction with the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, a decision was made to have the lines in shallow tunnels so as to minimise the height difference between the underground rails and their extension across the bridge.

	Alternate View Column AV-32
		Assuming that the Earth has a uniform mass density, that there is no friction or air resistance in the tunnel, and that the subway car is moving solely under the influence of gravity with no other forces, the time required for a one-way Manhattan-to-Sydney trip in the subway car is an amazing 43 minutes.
		This is because that time is inversely proportional to the square root of the density (mass per unit volume) of the body involved, and is otherwise independent of both the mass and radius of the body.
		A fall-through subway on the Moon, which has an average density that is 61% of the Earth's, would have a transit time of 55 minutes.

	The T says its new automated setup will crack down on freeloaders. But, like the card's namesake, Charlie cheats are ...
		In fact, they've just taken the subway system on a two-for-the-price-of-one ride, piggybacking their trip out of Jamaica Plain on a single $1.25 Charlie Ticket they fed into a machine.
		The hum of the commuter crowd at the system's ninth-busiest subway station is so loud, and the T workers evidently so preoccupied with other duties, that the buzzers fall on deaf ears, like a fire alarm going off in a dorm.
		While T officials say the new automated system can precisely calculate losses by comparing revenue with ridership, they say the old system was not so adept at tracking, and so comparable numbers from previous years are only estimates.
