The Sydney Metro Project is currently the largest public transport project in Australia. It is expected to cost more than $12.5 billion, which will deliver 31 metro stations, including new ones in Victoria Cross, Crows Nest, Waterloo, Central Station, and many others. It will also create 65 kilometers of new metro rail infrastructure that will span from Bankstown in the south west part of the city to Rouse Hill in the north west.
The entire metro rail system is expected to begin operations in 2024, however, the first stage of the project, the Sydney Metro Northwest, is due for completion in the earlier part of 2019. The tunnels have already been constructed, as bridges and other civil works are expected to be finished ahead of schedule.
When finished, the project will revolutionize commuting in the most populous city in Australia. The Sydney Metro rail system will provide travelers world-class, efficient, safe, and reliable trains, and strategically located stations.

Additionally, the technology that will be implemented will benefit customers greatly as they would have no more need to rely on timetables. The train service frequency will be every four minutes during peak hours, reducing waiting time. Travel apps will also be developed to allow customers to plan at home how they will commute. Real-time journey information will also be posted at the metro stations and on board the trains.
