What could have been a logistical nightmare was managed efficiently by the organisers of World Youth Day in Sydney. Congested at the best of times, Sydney had to deal with the challenge of moving an additional 500,000 to one million people though its public transport system. This seems to have been achieved without incident and the many pilgrims enjoyed celebrating the visit by the head of the Catholic Church, Pope Benedict XVI.
