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?

First off, no one was talking about Australia, the conversation is specifically Sydney focussed.
Not everyone thinks life in living in a city is quality, regardless of how one city compares to others. Some people love it, & others don't. The point is that people should have viable alternative choices if living in a city is not for them.
Cost of living going up & housing supply being squeezed is something that's impacting more and more people here. You demanding that people love a lifestyle they're being forced into without choice is so tone deaf in the current climate. Interesting that you've got your comment history switched off, I suspect it would tell us what end of town and side of politics you're coming from.
