Weekly charts Chart (1992) Peakposition Sydney Buses "We're Moving Sydney" Edit Around 1994, the State Transit Authority of Sydney Buses introduced their "We're Moving Sydney" slogan for their advertising on television.
The advert featured a slightly altered version of Motor City where minor changes were made to the original lyrics to suit the theme of the advert. Most notably, the recurring lyric within the original song was changed from "Here in motor city" to "We're moving Sydney". The dubbed lyrics were still sung by both Braithwaite and Reyens together with the original instrumental backing track.
