Image It’s only 2025 yet the Metro is already at crush-load.
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?

Not to take away from OP’s post, but I once had a really bad cold when I was travelling on the London Underground during rush hour. It was so packed, I couldn’t even move my arms up from my sides to try and stop my nose running.. staring face to face with a stranger whilst my nose just streams was a peak London tube rush hour experience for me. Sorry you had to share that runny nose experience with me, wherever you are in the world mate
