TEC Urban Campaigner Mr Leigh Martin said “North Western Sydney is choking under worsening traffic congestion and air pollution from vehicle emissions. Completing the North West Metro link by 2107 will provide commuters with an attractive alternative to the private car and help reduce the number of polluting vehicles on our roads “.

TEC has also welcomed the proposed West Metro to Parramatta and South East Metro to Malabar and urged the Government to immediately commit funds to their construction.

“Sydney needs extensive new public transport infrastructure to relive the gridlock and harmful air pollution that is plaguing the city. Providing metro rail to Parramatta and Malabar would be a vital component of an effective transport network,” Mr Martin said.
