New metro line signals change ahead for commuter habits | mattonews
Commuters in Sydney's north west will increasingly need to switch modes of public transport, such as from buses to trains, to get to their destinations following the opening of a new $8 billion metro train line in May.36-kilometre rail line from Rouse Hill to Chatswood
Transport for NSW secretary Rodd Staples said the changes to the bus network in the north west would be progressively rolled out following the opening of the new rail line."What we're going to do with customers is give them a bit of time to adjust. So when that service starts running on day one, people can keep doing what they're doing now in terms of buses," he said.
"For some people, there will be more interchange than maybe what they've been used to. But at the same time, they are not running on a motorway where there's risk of traffic congestion," he said. Transport Minister Andrew Constance said bus services in the north west would not be cut, rather the intention was to operate more to the new train stations.
