Sydney Metro is Australia's biggest public transport project.

Services started in 2019 using Sydney's new generation of fully - automated metro trains.

Sydney Metro is comprised of four projects:

Sydney Metro Northwest - formerly the 36km North West Rail Link. This $8.3 billion project is now under operation.

Sydney Metro City & Southwest- is a new 30km metro line extending metro rail from the end of Sydney Metro Northwest at Chatswood under Sydney Harbour, through new CBD stations and southwest to Bankstown. It is due to open in 2024 with the capacity to run a metro train every two minutes each way through the centre of Sydney.

Sydney Metro West - Sydney Metro West is a new underground railway between the CBDs of Parramatta and Sydney. This once-in-a-century infrastructure investment will transform Sydney for generations to come, doubling rail capacity between these two areas, linking new communities to rail services and unlocking housing supply and employment growth between the two CBDs. Sydney Metro West will service the key precincts of Greater Parramatta, Westmead, Sydney Olympic Park, The Bays Precinct and the Sydney CBD.

Sydney Metro Western Sydney Airport - is a new railway between St Marys and the Western Sydney Aerotropolis, including a station at the new Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport).
