Why don't those australians just take the subway everywhere?
I mean, I know what you're thinking, it's in the middle of the alps and everything but the Swiss have great trains
This is a bit hard to parse, but it's worth noting that Switzerland does have great trains. Often described as the best national network in the world. In this incredibly mountainous country, where almost every line involves multiple tunnels and bridges and viaducts, you can get to all but the smallest of towns by train.
I suspect that this is a joke about Australia vs. Austria.
I've heard they've got a secret rail network under Lake Lucerne with a command center in Mount Titlis
I cannot tell if you're joking, but in Perth there is no subway.
Perth isn't in South Australia, but AFAIK Adelaide doesn't have an underground train line either. Australia doesn't really have 'subway' systems, just a few underground stations around the inner city, at most.
OP was talking about Australians and being one, I figured I'd point out the flaw in their reasoning, living in Perth and all.
Yeah I misread the context, sorry mate.
