  • Sydney Metro was a proposed rapid transit railway network in Sydney, intended to connect the central business district (CBD) with the inner and outer city suburbs Rouse Hill, Westmead, Malabar and lower North Shore. Initially proposed in 2008 as ‘Metro Link’, the plan was modified and renamed later that year. After half a billion dollars was spent on planning, property acquisitions and a tender process, it was cancelled in 2010. The fate of the initial Metro proposal was tied to the fate of a plan to privatise much of the then state-owned electricity sector, a plan which would have released tens of billions of dollars in capital for investment in new infrastructure. When the privatisation plan was dramatically scaled back under pressure from the union movement, the Metro proposal was reduced to a nine-kilometre shuttle between the CBD and the inner-western suburb of Rozelle, raising questions about the project's value for money. The cycle of announcement, re-announcement and cancellation of rail projects was a familiar pattern under the Labor government that ruled New South Wales between 1995 and 2011. The short life of the Sydney Metro proposal was a significant contributing factor to Labor's rout at the 2011 state election. Although Labor's Sydney Metro proposals were not revived, an alternative rapid transit system was proposed by the Liberal/Nationals government elected in 2011. Construction of this scheme, also known as Sydney Metro, began in 2013 and the first line opened in 2019. (en)
  • O Metro de Sydney (CBD Metro) é um sistema de metrô subterrâneo, planejado para a cidade australiana de Sydney, que foi anunciado a 23 de outubro de 2008. O Metro de Sydney será desenhado para servir o "CBD Growth Centre". Consiste em 9 km de caminhos de ferro, que vão desde Rozelle até para ligar a Wynyard, Town Hall e Central, e é como uma espécie de reposição da . O projecto também inclui um comboio que consiga efectuar o seu percurso com facilidade para a nova estação de Pyrmont. Em dezembro de 2008, o projecto foi colocado numa pequena lista com outros, que serão construídos pela Infrastructure Australia's - 'Building Australia Fund. (pt)
