Matthew Longland: Transforming Sydney Trains for sustainability

Initiative

Project description

Public transport plays a vital role in shaping cities, contributing to their overall productivity, liveability, and sustainability, explains Sydney Trains Chief Executive Matthew Longland. To tackle the threat of climate change, Australian cities require a well-developed public transport system to decrease the reliance on cars while increasing accessibility to education, employment, and recreation opportunities. With a population of some five million people, Sydney is already feeling the pressures of growth, and that number is is expected to hit six million over the next decade. Improved public transport is needed to enhance Sydney�s liveability and sustainability.
