What’s the difference between metro and traditional heavy rail?
Metro trains run more frequently, with a train every 2-3 minutes in the peak Due to the frequency of trains, metro rail systems do not need a timetable. Metro uses single-deck trains with more doors, enabling passengers to get on and off more quickly, reducing delays at stations. The metro will be an independent system, and therefore, will not be disrupted by delays on other systems. It will, however, be well integrated with Sydney’s other transport services.
