- Replies 0
Navigating the bustling public transport system during peak hours can be a challenge, especially in a city as vibrant and busy as Sydney.
With the daily hustle and bustle, finding a seat on the train can feel like a game of musical chairs that you're always losing.
But what if there was a way to increase your chances of snagging that coveted spot?
Well, Sydney commuters, rejoice! There's a little-known train tip that's been making waves online, and it's all about using technology to your advantage.
The secret lies in the colour-coded diagrams displayed on digital signs at train stations.
This revelation came to light when a Sydney train passenger, Carolina, shared her discovery on social media.
Her post quickly garnered attention, with many fellow commuters expressing their surprise and gratitude for the tip.
'I was today years old when I noticed that this shows you how full the carriages are,' Carolina wrote on the video that has since gone viral.
The digital signs are not just there for decoration; they provide real-time information about how full each carriage is before the train even arrives at the platform.
This ingenious system uses a traffic light-style colour code: green indicates empty carriages, amber signifies standing room only, and red means the carriage is full.

The capacity information, as reported by Rail Express, is currently available at Waratah train stops, which include the T1 North Shore and Western Lines.
The system operates using weight sensors to measure how many passengers are in each carriage, providing a reasonably accurate guide to where you might find a seat.
The response from Sydneysiders has been a mix of amazement and humour.
'I never pay attention that's how I missed it every time,' one commuter commented.
'Has that always been there? Thank you because I don't think I knew what they meant until now,' another replied.
While a third quipped, 'Wait, you're telling me I've been stuck with sardines when I could be chilling with tuna down the back?'
However, some seasoned commuters were surprised that this feature wasn't common knowledge.
'This was a thing a while ago. Whilst not always accurate, it's an indication,' one replied.
Another commented, 'It's been like that for about six years from what I'm aware of.'
