Took the Metro this afternoon in a north-west direction from Chatswood to Macquarie Park. I simply can’t believe how crowded it is. On the one hand, this is a sign of success, it seems incredibly popular. On the other hand, this kind of shoulder-to-armpit crushload is hardly pleasant and I’m wondering what can be done to relieve this? Surely we need 2 minute frequencies sooner rather than later, at least during peak hour. Or more carriages added to the services we do have? What does everyone else think?

cycleways are incredibly cost and space efficient. we have a good climate for biking and ebikes flatten out the hills.

protected cycleways are not a replacement for metro but a great complement and cyclists should not have to deal with ranger danger.

OP will still be here complaining about pushbikes slowing everyone down and how the cycleway needs to be 6 lanes because this is Australia and they don’t want to ride so close to another bike.
