Sydney’s Southwest Metro draws massive crowds on opening day | 7NEWS
Sydney’s new Southwest Metro opened with overwhelming public enthusiasm, attracting 18,000 passengers in its first few hours of operation. The 10-station extension links Bankstown to the existing Metro line at Sydenham, cutting travel times significantly across the network, with journeys from Belmore to the CBD now 14 minutes faster and Punchbowl to Barangaroo reduced by 32 minutes. The opening marks Sydney’s last major Metro milestone for several years, with the Western Sydney Airport link not due until next year and Metro West to Parramatta delayed until 2032.
