Lethargic

Due to Sydneys poor infrastructure and planning moving anywhere in the city can be a slow frustrating exercise. weather this be through the constant traffic issues, late busses or train delays commuting around Sydney can often feel as though it is never on time. To show this I used mellow tones of yellows and grays from the trains.  

Assiduous 

Despite all the floors with the public transport it is always consistent, workers and vehicles work 24/7 to ensure that Sydneys public can go to their desired locations. To represent this through colour I have decided to use the cool blue hues from the busses as it creates a sense of calm as you always know its there if you need.

Frantic

Especially during the morning rush hour there is also a rush of people going in every direction. This creates frantic panic feeling whenever you walk into any major station. I chose reds and pinks as shown on the trams to show this as red creates feelings of urgency and adventure that being on public transport gives.
