"We wuz first" - on claim Melbourne CityLink was the first all electronic tollroad - MISQUOTE & APOLOGY
Posted on Sat, 2007-12-22 15:52Guess it's an understandable expression of pride, the desire to say "we wuz first..." Thus the outgoing chief executive of Transurban Kim Edwards was quoted in a Sydney newspaper (Dec 22) as saying "When we did CityLink it was the world's first fully electronic toll road..." This claim has often been made in Australia so often it probably slips off the tongue without much thought. An engineer there made the claim in a book on CityLink.
