The Sydney Metro has been a huge success. So...what's next?
The Sydney Metro has been a huge success. So...what's next?
The Sydney Metro and its most recent extension to Sydney CBD has been a hugely successful project, reporting strong patronage and high customer satisfaction. In this video, I'll perform a retrospective on the Sydney Metro; what was done right, what was done wrong, and how the Sydney Metro has changed Sydney. More importantly, we’ll discuss upcoming projects, and finally, what the government should be building next. Check out an extended cut of my adventure down to the future Hunter Street Station platforms here: https://youtu.be/tvwW3JVVpfY Did you enjoy this video?

Do you really need to take 10,000 steps a day? - Shannon Odell
Discover the benefits of walking, and how this simple exercise can positively impact the health of your body and brain. -- For years, Jean Béliveau walked from country to country, with the goal of circumnavigating the globe on foot.

So, what exactly happens to your body when you increase your step count? Shannon Odell investigates. Lesson by Shannon Odell, directed by Avi Ofer.
