607x mentioned!!! lets go

Nobody is taking the 607x all the way. You would get off at a train station.

if 100 years old Sydney Train could not be reliable, how could you trust this more complicated one? anyone has the answer ?

I bet they won't build anything around the airport until 2050 based on what we have seen with development around Sydney Metro Northwest stations. They should have built the developments in conjunction with the metro line and airport to not only fund the projects but also to utilise the infrastructure, rather than the current situation which is leaving the second step to private developers that charge triple the price if the development was built prior to the airport and metro opening.

At least one city in Australia is starting to catch up with London, Paris, Moscow, Beijing, Shanghai, etc

I've never heard of ANY of these. Which begs the obvious question: which one did he mispronounce?

Nah, we need to turn the Metro into an underground BRT

Thanks for making me wonder who kept messaging me on Discord...

i used to really like going to peats ridge while doing the central coast run it was always the last drop on the way home to sydney and it was this high speed no traffic quick detour least pain in the bum quick drop then back on the hiway home

I honestly believe high density is a short term fix to kick a population and density problem down the road. You can’t turn the planet into coruscant without creating huge problems later. A better approach is to build more satellite cities in the regions (NOT the suburbs), and encourage industries into the regions with things like tax breaks, etc. In the long term Iis better for the economy, its better for the environment, its better for quality of living.

The simping is getting boring.

That very very VERY FRUSTRATING 3km

More tolls

The ccn actually does run through the city circle and over the harbour bridge regularly

I think the point of express is 1. Faster, and 2. Have more free seats. Now with metro only 1 is satisfied 😂

Why are there so little interchange stations? Seems insane

Can Sydney metro had limited stop services?

Informative video but please can you stop with the mini-laughs mid-sentence during things that it makes literally zero sense to laugh while saying

The video of Epping station must be fake, because it's showing traffic FLOWING in the Epping Rd - Beecroft Rd intersection during daylight hours.

Came here for the awesome thumbnail, stayed for the video

Have you considered bike lanes czcams.com/video/LgREXtTCrl4/video.htmlsi=6Sy5_3Gp3K6gp2lo

Out nsw govment spend usuless money alot 🐣

RIP the 100km/h insane journey on the Hillsbus city express services

As someone who used to take the 607X almost daily, I've actually never had it not show up. The other 61_X buses however...

T9 express is limited stops ccn is t9s express onl going strathfeild😊

Lol

To be honest, I would rather take the CCN, then take a train to Town Hall, even if it means it's 2 minutes longer. It adds some interest to the same journey that gets boring eventually. Its also shows that now we have multiple options, something Sydney lacks.

Will there still be trackwork for chatswood ppl every other week when they start on the Bankstown extension?

Great video Sharath!

Those pesky gradients. Petition now to make ALL stations plumb level asap for "continuity and change"... especially Denistone! Definitely start with Deni$$$tone🤪

RIP I still want a date.

help why does mindaribba looks like warratah mills enterance

Military road is bad. Outside of major roads, in Wahroonga, it's anywhere where you need to cross over a train line. There's only a few (single lanes) places you can do it in the area, and with several schools in Wahroonga there's a big gridlock every afternoon that's just as bad as Military Road. Developers keep building apartments but local govt won't widen the bridge over the railway.

i love the continued refusal to acknowledge any (even minor) problems with the Sydney Metro except for Tallawong-Schofields

Every Sydneysider whose ever driven anywhere for work is probably nodding along throughout the video.

My biggest gripe with Seoul’s metro is that signage is terrible. On platforms even for Korean speakers such as myself its annoying trying to understand when the next train is as screens keep on cycling between useless tabs such as one indicating times for first and last service. This is even worse on board where screens cycle between ads so often its hard to know which direction you’re going in and where you’re stopping. Plus only screens over every second door on each side display this information! Its so annoying, especially in peak hour when it isn’t always practical to turn around in circles. I wish they’d just have horizontal displays in the space between opposite doors on every train instead of just some models. Tokyo does a much better job at this in my opinion (especially since the overhaul they did in the leadup to the olympics). Line 9 runs express but unfortunately doesn’t have passing loops at every local station. They also have a shortage of staff and trains and many many other problems which really dampen its potential unfortunately. Until now Seoul has taken a page off of Tokyo’s book and mainly used metro like trains on its whole network. Lines like the gyeonggi-jungang line used to be heavy rail and were converted over. This has helped standardize the overall network, but they are now working on the GTX which will work more like an intercity/RER mix. Koreans have been able to pay for their transport fares with simcards and credit cards (and all sorts of trinkets such as rings) for years so there hasn’t really been an incentive update machines. You can also top up via an app but if I remember correctly foreign cards incur a surcharge. You also forgot to mention that Seoul utilises buses A LOT with many commuter bus routes. To help with this many bus lanes have been painted throughout the city with huge bus stops that almost function as a humungous BRT system.

It’s like they could modify the scheduling of existing bus routes to make them more frequent instead of having train replacement buses so you can take those buses to another train line! :)

Not like people need jobs.

I love this proposal. Best of luck with this. Hopefully you can pull it off. I love: A) how the route starts at Olympic park which is more centrally located for most Sydney residents than the CBD and connects to the future metro station, stage 2 light rail , TOD and is a similar distance from both airports. Hopefully this will entice the construction of a north-south metro route through Sydney olympic park and improves connection to the "central River city". B) the focus on regional growth. I see this benefiting the southern highlands, Yass region, Canberra, Seymour, and Shepparton in the short-medium term well before the route to Melbourne is complete. C) your point about the ease of getting on and off a train compared to a plane. The "door to door" commute will likely be shorter. D) one last point is that to get to net zero we need to reduce flights. A high speed rail is a pathway for this.

What the hell is Gadigal?

It’s called Bayfront because Marina Bay Sands hotel is called Bayfront Hotel, which is why they named it that.

In the 80's driving from Castle Hill to Barangaroo (well, Wynyard, as Barangaroo didn't exist then) took 1hr 20 mins during peak hour.

all time saved is wasted by the rozelle intercahnge

I wonder if this would lead to changes to the 600x express buses

The metro makes fewer stops that’s why it’s faster it’s a de facto express sort of

All very good... until you need to get from the station to another destination. Make more roads, widers roads, lots of free parking and only let me and my friends on the roads.

Thanks for the information on this

Here's the link to the PDF of the offical map that works: drive.google.com/file/d/1SqnhfLjEHWkRsHlKWLaafvnSqSTLs_hA/view?usp=sharing - Give me a like if you downloaded it.

Why *did* they drop the L from Slurry Hills?

Metro Extension 288 Should be shortened to North Sydney so The 288 go from Epping to North Sydney to Avoid the Toll because Buses Pay Tolls More than Cars.
