Geez.
Who would have ever thought that a modern metro system would have commuters wanting to use it? Even better, it is reaching such demand that the govt is already needing to increase services.
1 million passengers every 5 days on one single automated line with no drivers or guards, yet a shite load of customer service staff on every single service and at every station.
I believe we in Sydney are now entering the 21st century, or at least catching up with other modern rail systems around the rest of the globe.
It's about f**king time.
It's amusing, although a plus, that this news item showed that Jo is so positive about the Bankstown T3 conversion. It certainly wasn't her position while in opposition just a few years ago, yet it shows that even the most ardent anti metro opponents can be converted to a system that isn't a tangle of lines that can collapse at will during any drama and be beholden to unions at their whim when they choose.
I have to say, I'm impressed that the Labor Govt has progressed with the current projects and have jumped on board.
Yes, they have delayed Sydney Metro West, which will add costs, but at least it will be built.
