If Sydney is your world, then the metro is "World Class". I am a regular metro user. Most of the times between Macquarie University station and Cherrybrook station, the metro is shaking vigrously. The ride is very rough. One morning ( around 7:30am ) in the beginning of 2024, I was on metro to Rouse Hill. There were FOUR young adults slept on the metro, each one occupied one whole bench seat. I called the platform guards to look into this matter. 3 platform guards just stand next to those guys but failed to do anything. When the metro arrived Rouse Hill, the guards woke them up and those 4 "kids" woke up and walked out the metro. Yes, the train frequency is higher than other suburbs train. ( It is due to the dedicated tracks which is only used by metro ).
Lol you sound *real* bitter. The Metro might feel slightly shaky because it is FAST, it does Chatswood-Epping singificantly faster than the old trains could (12min instead of 16min), and even on a really slow corridor like Sydenham-Bankstown all-stops the Metro will do that trip in about 20min rather than 24min.
Were there no other seats available for you to use or did you just feel displeasure at someone resting and occupying more than one seat space each? Do you complain if someone places their backpack on the empty seat alongside them in a train with many seats still unoccupied and no-one standing? Actually, the train frequency is higher because the higher train speed between stations and better acceleration allows for it, as does the signalling and control software in place of an on-board driver, plus the greater number of carriage doors, with the platform door screens allowing safer and higher approach and departure speeds which in turn reduce the dwell times at each station.
Nice video,I would just like to point out there are still 3 million people in New South Wales that live outside of Sydney,with no world class transport,It would be nice to even have any train service at all.
@@carisi2k11Indeed. Those train services might not all be “world class” but are still very good (and continuing to improve) and by serving “most of the populated area” as you rightly say, are designed to serve most of the population of the state, as they should. Regional areas have relatively few people and at far lower population density, so high-capacity “world class transport” is inappropriate. Cities are able to provide “world class transport” options because they have the population density to support them. Some of us choose where to live in order to balance better the likely convenience of mass transport and future employment options versus the quieter more relaxed life of regional and other less densely populated areas. Years ago, I chose to continue to live close to a railway station that now also has a metro station and for years has had good bus services. I was prepared to pay for that privilege in all sorts of costly ways and I had to work hard and long (from early school days) to be able to afford it. I made my choice just as other people choose to live in regional areas with the privileges that I don’t have available to me, living where I do. My choice, their choice. They should not complain about the choices that **they** have made in **their** lives. It was their choice and the ramifications of that choice should have been obvious at the time. If @markthomas7963 made the wrong choice, he should stop complaining to everyone but himself.
