Experience The Sydney Metro: Chatswood To Sydenham In Stunning 4k - Opening Day Vlog!

The greatest metro project of this century in Sydney is the "Sydney Metro." After seven years of construction, Sydney residents can finally ride the driverless metro trains starting today. These trains will operate along the second phase of the metro network, reaching speeds of up to 100 km/h as they pass through Sydney's central district. The main section of the $21.6 billion AUD line, from Chatswood to Sydenham, opens on Monday, offering a range of last-minute tips for first-time metro passengers. The top recommendation is to avoid running to catch the metro doors and to hold onto the handrails once aboard, as the metro trains accelerate and brake much faster than Sydney's existing double-decker trains. As the line officially opens, how the hundreds of thousands of daily commuters adapt to this system and whether it meets expectations will be a major test. What are the fares? The fare for the driverless metro trains running beneath the harbor between Chatswood and Sydenham is the same as that for Sydney trains. During peak hours, adults will pay $4.20 AUD for journeys within 10 kilometers and $5.22 AUD for journeys within 20 kilometers. Off-peak fares are $2.94 AUD and $3.65 AUD, respectively. The metro line's city section has been integrated into the broader transport network, allowing commuters to choose between Sydney trains, the metro, or a combination of both, depending on their destination. Metro fares are aligned with the rest of Sydney’s public transport network. From one end of the line at Sydenham to the other end at Tallawong, a total journey of 51.5 kilometers, the peak fare for adults is $8.03 AUD, and the off-peak fare is $5.62 AUD. #sydneywalkingtour #sydneymetro #4kwalkingtour
