Angus, I never saw any at any of the tram stops, which is where one might reasonably expect to find them (except for the fact that most tram stops don't have shelters, so maps would get rained on and ruined pretty quick). They may be available elsewhere, but I wouldn't know where to look. Some of the tram stops did have little maps for their individual lines behind fogged-up glass, but stops that are used by several lines don't have maps of every line.
It's also possible that I just didn't try very hard to find a map. Because it should be easy, dammit! :-)
Because Australia is too sodding long to type!
Yes!
The Sydney one does look a little confusing, but it also looks liek it has a LOT of stops, which is neat. DC's is easy, but only becuase there aren't so many stops...
Lothian buses are informationly excellent all the stops are well marked and have little route diagrams.
Yeah, but you have a Pentagon stop, which is dead cool.
A stop under the Pentagon in Washington.
Julie ... what Jim said. I write and say "Oz" frequently but then I have a horrible habit of shortening names.
Plus! I was irreprapblye parabola irreparably damaged by going to the cinema and seeing
Oz*
when I was about 12.

This was a mid-70s Australian version of the Wizard of Oz.
I thought it was also supposed to reflect native pronounciation, since several Australians have corrected me when I've begun the name with the same sound as in Austria.
A stop under the Pentagon in Washington.
Of course, we also have things like the stop marked "zoo" actually being farther away from the zoo than the Cleveland Park stop, and an uphill walk besides. On the other hand, taking the zoo stop to ge to the zoo is a mistake you only make once.
I just popped some hot cross buns in the oven. Perfect late-night snack! I wish you could get them all year round.
Something tells me Americans don't do hot cross buns. Is that right? They have cinnamon in them, so I'd think you would be all over them. (Then again, because they already have cinnamon in them, you can't ruin them by adding cinnamon, so perhaps they don't appeal.)
