Purpose
METRONET is the largest investment in public transport in Perth’s history. It involves building approximately 72 km of new passenger rail and 23 new stations. The project aims to manage urban sprawl by creating "transit-oriented developments," making the city more "livable" by connecting suburbs that were previously car-dependent.
