Today's Poll

A new car service is promising a $350 joint fare for a chauffeured ride to Sydney. Are you tempted to take up the offer?

Yes, great idea. It would be more reliable than then plane, faster than the train and less stress than driving myself.
No thanks, it takes three hours to get to Sydney however you do it. And the bus costs a fraction of the price.
