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.
