Sydney Metro access report

November 2019

CID’s advocacy group tested the Sydney Metro train and found serious safety and access issues.

The Metro has positive aspects, but the group found big problems with safety. In their report, they make 3 key recommendations:

  1. Guarantee staff on every train and at every station
  2. Keep the doors open long enough for everyone to get on the train
  3. Make travel speeds safe for everyone so we don’t fall over

Read all 17 recommendations in this report, which was sent to the NSW Minister for Transport, Andrew Constance, in November 2019.

The report is part of our Don’t Leave Us Behind campaign.
