    Default The Core

    The shiny highrises are a backdrop to the old Bay building which in turn looks down the old store fronts. I like the way everything appears pushed up against the other. Here we can also see the wires for the trolleys and the ultra modern new train platform.

    I like the way they write "Train' On the side of the trains, you know, in case you think it's a boat, bunny, or a butterfly perhaps?

    MA is partially right, the label is for the politicians. Since they would never be caught dead taking public transport it helps them understand what the difference is between a bus and a train. The colours are consistent so they do know it is the peasant transport system.
