The O’Farrell Government has committed to the expansion and integration light rail across the city. It promises to:
Incorporate existing light rail services from Central to Lilyfield into the MyZone ticketing system to encourage more commuters to consider multi-modal transport options;
Ensure that light rail is part of the proposed Electronic Ticketing System;
Extend the existing light rail service in the Inner West from Lilyfield to Dulwich Hill. There has been long-held strong community support for this project, backed by advice from transport experts;
Conduct a feasibility study to extend the light rail in the CBD. Central to Circular Quay will form the spine of this network subject to feasibility with an intention to incorporate the network to Haymarket, Barangaroo and other major CBD locations. Integration with other modes of transport will be critical to the final route and station destinations;
Conduct a feasibility study to extend the light rail network from Central to the University of NSW. The precinct between Central Railway Station and UNSW incorporates one of our state’s most significant, sporting, entertainment, health and education precincts yet lacks an integrated mass transit option; and,
Conduct a feasibility study to extend the light rail network from Central Railway Station to Sydney University. Thousands of workers and students make the daily commute from the Sydney CBD to Broadway.
