	the air rail link is fantastic. unlike sydney they don't charge any extra for the service (for those who don't know when built they had to charge an extra 10 dollars just for the joy of getting off at one station, even though the line goes through to other stations.
	The main downside for Perth stations is the lack of accessibility for disabled usersStations like Leederville are almost impossible to access unless you are able bodied
	Coke to Perth bro
	Perth still has a long way to catch up to Australia's two biggest and best metro train networks in Melbourne & Brisbane.
	Dude you BUTCHERED the pronunciation of Joondalup
	i live in Perth and i must sayits pronounced, ''June-dL-up''
	The rail network in Perth is a joke a timetables made by buffoons that don't even understand basic math's.
	Ditto to the comment below; your summary was great. The only thing... it's pronounced Joon-dah-lup .... NOT Joondallup. We in the west do have our quirks when it comes to things like pronunciation as doubtless the rest of the country will readily tell you! Western Australia is bigger than a lot of actual countries in the world. But the majority of it's population lives in and around Perth. Which makes our infrastructure issues a challenge for any government. The north south length is around 2400 km [1500 miles] and 1200 km [770 miles wide]. Despite this, there is a pretty good road network in place linking industrial, cultural and natural areas of interest. Imagine building a roads from Galveston Tx to Winnipeg Canada, or from San Francisco to Santa Fe and all points in between. Those are the types of problems faced in Western Australia as a state. Thanks for taking the time to do the video. It was great.
	It's cool to see a video like this about Perth! I especially enjoyed the way you pronounce Joondalup. My family just returned from a holiday to Sydney. They have a rail link to the airport there, but the tickets are $20 each, so an Uber worked out cheaper for the family. Back in Perth the train is just a standard ticket, so $10 for the whole family. I saw signs saying that you could catch a train direct from Mandurah to Optus stadium and I didn't understand how that would work, but now I've seen this video I realize it'll take the link at Cockburn. Thank you for a great video.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!!! It took them 50 years to decide to build a train to the airport, another 5 years to construct it....don't hold your breath folks on all the future plans.
	"stretches for 100km along the Coast""small city"... Yeah sure
	Thanks for covering our humble and beautiful city! (Perth local here!). I sold my car because I more found myself using buses and trains - great to learn more
	I'm giggling it's so nice to see all the other perthies in the comments
	Ain’t no way he pronounced my home area Joondalup “Jan-darlup” in all seriousness I’ve never really thought about our transport system, despite taking it too school everyday
	Shame all the aboriginals make it unusable for normal people
	Joon da Lup? It’s got long oo and ahh sounds nothing short ones.
	best city
	Blokes pronunciation of Joondalup is farrrrked up.
	I’m guessing this is a channel made by the state govt. As proven by what I had to accept to make a comment. Anyhow all lies. The Perth rail “network” is basically a line running north / south and a line running east / West. Not much more to it than that. Calling it a network is a big stretch of the imagination
	hey i know i’m quite late, but your spelling and pronunciation of a few of the cities are a bit off. Joondalup is pronounced “June-duh-lup”. Mandurah is spelt as shown above as well, which is a bit off in the time stamps. Glad I could help! (also the time stamp is quite annoying so it would be appreciated if it was fixed)
	You're pronouncing Mandurah (/ˈmændʒərə/) wrong
	Wait until he finds out about Transwahehehee
	Only time I used to catch the train was on the way to big day out or soundwave and maybe a couple another music festivals they had in the city so I didn’t have to risk drink driving home. Bonus was that it’s usually free transport when you buy the $150 + ticket for the festival. Don’t really remember the trips home but always got back safe haha.
	its Joondalup pronounce JUNE DA LUP not June dal up lol
	if 2 million people isn't a large city then why don't you upload a video of yourself counting to 2 million get destroyed liberal /s
	Joondalup pronunciation got me. As someone whose closest city is Perth I've never heard it said like that
	Thornlie to Cockburn line is only a temporary fix. The final plan is to connect cockburn to the airport which is already achieved given there already a freight line there. The delay most is caused by relocation of the freight line and building the train stop along with removing most of the train crossing on Armadale line.
	Same rail gauge as the whole of Indonesia too!
	now we had the airport line going to the airport
	I heard Perth is a beautiful city. Once I thought about living there many years ago.
	Small city ... almost 2 million people... now thats a lie and insane clickbait
	As a Perth local, you botched the pronunciation of Joondalup.
	Another perth resident, thanks for bringing this up Mandurah train station is what I use on a daily bases. We tend to make a lot of stations just they're really sparse..
	Your pronunciation of joondalup is hilarious
	and the C series is being manufactured locally!
	HE SHOWD MY STATION AND BUS STOP TO GET HOME AND THE HOSPITAL I GOT TO EVERY WEEK I FEEL SO SEEN
	A good review. It is interesting as a Perth local to get a foreigner's perspective! There is a major rail link which connects Perth to the Eastern States, and of course, you can get a train from Adelaide up north to Darwin via Alice Springs. There is also a regional service that goes to Northam, Merredin, and the mining town of Kalgoorlie. The local and regional lines are no nonsense, and as easy as using a card to tap on-tap off for the Metro. The Indian-Pacific is much more formal, and is a bit too "luxury" , so travel to the other [East] coast is far more expensive than it needs to be for a lot of people. There are lots of other lines, but these are cargo lines with no passenger service. WA had a very extensive rail net, but the motor car killed off a lot of it, and they tore up many thousands of lines of track by the 1960's. Given the current costs of laying new tracks, the authorities have come to regret it. The main need now [apart from those things mentioned by you] is the circle line, which will make the whole system more efficient. The circle line is currently serviced by buses.
	it’s so weird that i’ve been violently drunk at most of these locations
	WHERE'S THE HANDBAG
	Hi! Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. I'm so proud of my hometown, Perth. Having lived in Perth and Calgary, I must say Perth is far more impressive as a city and all things public transportation related. Looking forward to the exciting expansion of the Metronet in the future
	Hi.Perth don't have lights rail. Regards. To have good rail and Bus networks is a thanks to good local government of .WARegards
	This will all be very transformational for Perth residents.I’m a Melburnian and I think it’s great to see other Australian cities growing and giving people a compelling reason to live there and having world class public transport goes a long way in making a thriving city.
	Hi, I live in Perth but it’s not (Joon-da-lup) it’s (Joon-dar-lup)
	I live in Perth WA and I can definitely say that the rail system is so much better than the bus system as I use the buses all the time it sucks the buses are so slow I live just ten minutes of the city some times the buses take that long to where I want to go I think that I'm going to turn in to a vampire some of the bus drivers need to go back and learn how to drive properly their actions are very much like their driving a bus full of crash test Dummies and the bus companies that operate the different routes constantly change the numbers of the destination and times.the comparison of the bus system in Perth to that of outer Mongolia is at least in outer Mongolia you know that there is no bus system.i've lived in Perth nearly all my life and as long as my bum points to the ground the bus system will never be any good I'm better off walking every where
	This is a cool video, I was SO impressed with your pronounciation until you got to Joondalup. It's said like Joon-duh-jup. Anyway I had no idea how notable the system is. Thanks for sharing!
	Try to pronounce thisIt's a road that runs off the Kwinana freeway in the Mandurah area mandjoogoorap drive
	It's trash and over priced.You're better off getting a car it is way too inconsistent.
	After living in a few major cities and being a frequent transport user, i have to say perth is probably the worst in the country
	if anyones planing a trip to perth you will find that we dont poronounce Joondalup Joon-dalup we pronounce it June-duh-lup
	Whilst Perth is not huge in population it is a bit of an unusual one in that is physically huge for a city (as mentioned about 100km long). In some countries (eg Taiwan) that would mean you were in a completely different city for sure.
	It is so hard to listen to you saying June-dalip rather than june-dah-lup.
	Fun fact for the aiport link metronet decided they had no other option but to destroy one of perths oldest and most loved skateparks for a carpark servicing a train station So us locals put up a year and a half fight with the council and metronet demanding they rebuild the skatepark exact same design just with updated safety features and we won so they had to build they new park before they were allowed to destroy the old one Now bayswater skatepark has one of australias biggest and most up to date public use half pipes
	as an Australian, if you say Joondalup like that one more time, I'm going to throw hands
	As a guy how lives in perth when we say joondalup it sounds like two uu in the middle
	Perth is a quite sprawling city and its metro area is comparable to some megacities with 5-8m population.
	Wish you would give prices to ride as I'm always curious of the cost. Thanks
	Joondalup is pronounced “Joon-dar-lup”. It’s an indigenous word meaning “lake that glistens”
	Plus I live In perth
	I know the 7trainlines of perth Australia western Australia
	Worth noting that while the on-paper facts of the train lines seem very favourable, and it is indeed a pretty impressive amount for the small city, Perth HAS also fallen into the usual car-focused trap of most train stations having remarkably bad land usage. Surrounded by flat car parks, single suburban homes, and empty lots of land or just a giant freeway, they're not very density friendly. If you came here you'd realize that the train is the saving grace for what the busses and other modes of transport lack! After all, people can only take your train if they can get to the stations conveniently!
	Big rail network? How can 6 lines be a big network.Adelaide only has 6 lines.Brisbane has 14 lines,more than sydney.Melbourne has 20 lines.
	Joooond'llup!Interesting thing about the Joondalup and Mandurah lines was that the Joondalup line was pre-planned for in the newer Mitchell Freeway median, whereas the Mandurah line was retrofitted into the existing Kwinana Freeway median. they had to duplicate two bridges to accomodate everything too - the Narrows bridge and Mount Henry Bridge!
	Love the video, but don’t overthink the names! You pronounce Joondalup wrong, pronounce it as one, joon duh luhp
	I loved Perth when I visited. Would love to retire there. Need to stay in Melbourne for work unfortunately.
	Joondalup is pronounced JUNE-da-lup, but apart from that, a great video. It is worth noting that public transit in Perth is extremely well done. When I went there in 2001, it was easy to navigate, and both the trains and buses all connected very well with each other with minimal waiting time. The rest of Australia can learn from Perth.
	The airport line is now open opened on October 9
	I live very close to perth but I don’t live in perth also I like the new airport train line
	It’s pronounced “JUNE-DALL-OOP”
	> covering places from Australia to Austria to AlbertaYou should do something from Alaska, just for the lulz
	Currently working as a rail engineer in Toronto and I am really impressed with Perths transit network. Would love to go for a visit or even possibly move altogether
	God’s country
	I am 100 % sure most people living in Perth are learning this for the first time.. I used only cars when I was there last time .. incredible work
	The new Perth airport line is very good & Perth rail & bus service is excellent.
	Transperth
	Perth is the best city
	Many lines were closed in the fiftiesSixties and seventiesBusselton to flinders bayPerth to geraldton and meekatharraPerth to AlbanyObviously the metro lines had the priority over the country onesAlso put more freight on the roadsThe iron ore companies built theirOwn railways in the northwest!
	Perth is way too spread out. Not enough population around the city
	Coming back to this after the Airport line finally opened (9/10/2022)
	Update. The Airport line opened over the weekend.
	I have ridden the Perth line to Freemantle a number of times. And driven along side the trains that go to Mandurah and Joondalup. It is cool to see the trains pass the motorway traffic then stop and catch up and pass the motorway traffic again. Perhaps I will go to Perth again one day. It will be great to take the train to the airport. I have driven out there a number of times to pick people up and drop them off. The lack of carpet makes it easy to clean I guess. A link from the Mandurah line to Freemantle would be awesome.
	On completion of the Thornlie Cockburn link, Mandurah trains will be able to proceeded to Optus Stadium with out the need to change trains in Perth, this will mean that Only the Midland line will not be directly connected to Optus in a non transfer service (They do however expect you to get off at East Perth and walk across via the bridge). While Perth may have a small population, the urban sprawl is huge, and Perth is fast becoming the longest City in the world, there is also additional stations being built on the Mandurah line, Yes the stations are quite far apart to the south but if you look on a satellite image its mostly bush land with no residential areas. We call our track gauge Narrow Gauge, it is very popular around WA, with Standard Gauge only being used on the Main East West Rail link.
	Live in Perth, good network has capacity issues at peak times
	Perth as a model of public transportation, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!I grew up in Perth and was a boy when the electrification happened. I moved to Vancouver 15 years ago, just after the Mandurah line / Perth Underground was built. I marvelled at how easy it was to get around Vancouver without a car and what I perceived as a much better transit system (late night buses etc). I think in retrospect it's really just the high density living in Vancouver as opposed to Perth.I'm glad the system has improved a great deal over the years. I don't miss the times where you'd miss a train and have to wait thirty minutes for the next (Sundays and after 730pm), and we didn't have a phone to keep us entertained
	joondalup is pronounced joondle-up
	This is where Adelaide fails, we have this habit of just building highways instead of upgrading our rail, or tram or O-bahn system then we complain our city doesn't have good transport
	RM Transit-“Melbourne and Jakarta are the closest major cities to Perth”Adelaide- “Am I a joke to you”
	Perth Airport gotta be my favourite in Aus, lowkey Adelaide can be Fine, so long as you’re just dropping off or picking up
	The Airport line is now open!
	Great video, thanks. Perth is a gem.
	The airport link will be ready for passengers on October 15th this year at the latest. It's had its setbacks, but now the final testing is complete, they're just giving an "official opening date. As with many countries, various states make fun of each other. In the case of Victoria and New South Wales, they like to call Perth "backward' Yet none of them use the idea WA's Public Transit Authority had in having bus transfer stations above a rail line that runs down the median of freeways. The Mandurah line in particular was a major undertaking because they had to bore tunnels under the city..The Armadale line is getting an extension to Byford, and part of the upgrade to what is presently only a freight line and corridor for the Australind passenger service, that goes to Bunbury is getting extra double track, and a series of bridges to remove more level crossings.The Ellenbrook line construction, as of September 12th is presently little more than a rail bed at present. When finished, it has the potential to continue all the way to Midland one day, but for now, will terminate at Ellenbrook.East Perth Station is the western terminus for the Indian Pacific, a passenger train that runs from Sydney to Perth. The line holds the world record for having the longest section of straight track in the world.
	come visit though don't come to live in perth..you'll find how poor of a network and interlink we truly have, I wouldn't praise the WA network until you have traveled on it everyday 7 days a week 365 days a year..Noting we do have a lot of suburban that goes disused due to being on single rail freight and also being special event status rail stops.., due to their being a lot of heritage listing in and around Fremantle there isn't capacity to push dual/quad track services out of freo if there was we would of had services running into kwinana back in 88looking at the electrical issues we still have today on the electricfied portions suburban rail services I do not think it would be feasible long term use within its current format however if yo are going to extend it throughout the north and south west you would have to think light rail type fast service perth cbd to gero in the north, and experance in south and may be from of east/west rail link between perth,adelaide and melbourne outside the current route of the indian pacific and the ghan from adelaide to darwin..
	The airport link line is officially opening on the 9th October 22
	It's Joondalup
	I am German and have been to Perth two times in the late 90´s for vacation an was rather surprised about the good and modern metro system. Since Perth was the first city of Australia to visit the disappointment came to me immediately when i came to Sydney....The tram system of Melbourne is quite good though.
	I moved to Perth not that long ago, and I didn't expect much from the public transport system but I love it, also every time you drive the Mitchell Freeway at peak hour & just see the train go past while you happen to be stuck not moving in traffic, you regret not taking the train
	Joondalup is pronounced Joon-Da-lup just FYI
	perth resident here! i'd be interested in seeing even more southerly trains as a large number of people will drive down to bunbury, dunsbourugh or denmark for a weekend and i think a dedicated line from mandurah could be awesome. yeah transperth has its trains figured out. now its buses on the other hand-
	Thanks!
	I’m not sure how you can say ‘only 2 million’ - that’s huge. I’m going to assume you’re treating it like, that’s literally it, nothing beyond that unlike say how Chicago as a metro area of around 10 million people.
	NGL, it feels kinda weird seeing a Canadian go this hard into playing along with the running joke in Australia that Perth is rea;.

the air rail link is fantastic. unlike sydney they don't charge any extra for the service (for those who don't know when built they had to charge an extra 10 dollars just for the joy of getting off at one station, even though the line goes through to other stations.

The main downside for Perth stations is the lack of accessibility for disabled usersStations like Leederville are almost impossible to access unless you are able bodied

Coke to Perth bro

Perth still has a long way to catch up to Australia's two biggest and best metro train networks in Melbourne & Brisbane.

Dude you BUTCHERED the pronunciation of Joondalup

i live in Perth and i must sayits pronounced, ''June-dL-up''

The rail network in Perth is a joke a timetables made by buffoons that don't even understand basic math's.

Ditto to the comment below; your summary was great. The only thing... it's pronounced Joon-dah-lup .... NOT Joondallup. We in the west do have our quirks when it comes to things like pronunciation as doubtless the rest of the country will readily tell you! Western Australia is bigger than a lot of actual countries in the world. But the majority of it's population lives in and around Perth. Which makes our infrastructure issues a challenge for any government. The north south length is around 2400 km [1500 miles] and 1200 km [770 miles wide].

I have ridden the Perth line to Freemantle a number of times. And driven along side the trains that go to Mandurah and Joondalup. It is cool to see the trains pass the motorway traffic then stop and catch up and pass the motorway traffic again. Perhaps I will go to Perth again one day. It will be great to take the train to the airport. I have driven out there a number of times to pick people up and drop them off. The lack of carpet makes it easy to clean I guess. A link from the Mandurah line to Freemantle would be awesome.

On completion of the Thornlie Cockburn link, Mandurah trains will be able to proceeded to Optus Stadium with out the need to change trains in Perth, this will mean that Only the Midland line will not be directly connected to Optus in a non transfer service (They do however expect you to get off at East Perth and walk across via the bridge). While Perth may have a small population, the urban sprawl is huge, and Perth is fast becoming the longest City in the world, there is also additional stations being built on the Mandurah line, Yes the stations are quite far apart to the south but if you look on a satellite image its mostly bush land with no residential areas. We call our track gauge Narrow Gauge, it is very popular around WA, with Standard Gauge only being used on the Main East West Rail link.

Live in Perth, good network has capacity issues at peak times

Perth as a model of public transportation, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!I grew up in Perth and was a boy when the electrification happened. I moved to Vancouver 15 years ago, just after the Mandurah line / Perth Underground was built. I marvelled at how easy it was to get around Vancouver without a car and what I perceived as a much better transit system (late night buses etc). I think in retrospect it's really just the high density living in Vancouver as opposed to Perth.I'm glad the system has improved a great deal over the years. I don't miss the times where you'd miss a train and have to wait thirty minutes for the next (Sundays and after 730pm), and we didn't have a phone to keep us entertained

joondalup is pronounced joondle-up

This is where Adelaide fails, we have this habit of just building highways instead of upgrading our rail, or tram or O-bahn system then we complain our city doesn't have good transport

RM Transit-“Melbourne and Jakarta are the closest major cities to Perth”Adelaide- “Am I a joke to you”

Perth Airport gotta be my favourite in Aus, lowkey Adelaide can be Fine, so long as you’re just dropping off or picking up

The Airport line is now open!

Great video, thanks. Perth is a gem.

The airport link will be ready for passengers on October 15th this year at the latest. It's had its setbacks, but now the final testing is complete, they're just giving an "official opening date. As with many countries, various states make fun of each other. In the case of Victoria and New South Wales, they like to call Perth "backward' Yet none of them use the idea WA's Public Transit Authority had in having bus transfer stations above a rail line that runs down the median of freeways. The Mandurah line in particular was a major undertaking because they had to bore tunnels under the city..The Armadale line is getting an extension to Byford, and part of the upgrade to what is presently only a freight line and corridor for the Australind passenger service, that goes to Bunbury is getting extra double track, and a series of bridges to remove more level crossings.The Ellenbrook line construction, as of September 12th is presently little more than a rail bed at present. When finished, it has the potential to continue all the way to Midland one day, but for now, will terminate at Ellenbrook.East Perth Station is the western terminus for the Indian Pacific, a passenger train that runs from Sydney to Perth. The line holds the world record for having the longest section of straight track in the world.

come visit though don't come to live in perth..you'll find how poor of a network and interlink we truly have, I wouldn't praise the WA network until you have traveled on it everyday 7 days a week 365 days a year..Noting we do have a lot of suburban that goes disused due to being on single rail freight and also being special event status rail stops.., due to their being a lot of heritage listing in and around Fremantle there isn't capacity to push dual/quad track services out of freo if there was we would of had services running into kwinana back in 88looking at the electrical issues we still have today on the electricfied portions suburban rail services I do not think it would be feasible long term use within its current format however if yo are going to extend it throughout the north and south west you would have to think light rail type fast service perth cbd to gero in the north, and experance in south and may be from of east/west rail link between perth,adelaide and melbourne outside the current route of the indian pacific and the ghan from adelaide to darwin..

The airport link line is officially opening on the 9th October 22

It's Joondalup

I am German and have been to Perth two times in the late 90´s for vacation an was rather surprised about the good and modern metro system. Since Perth was the first city of Australia to visit the disappointment came to me immediately when i came to Sydney....The tram system of Melbourne is quite good though.

I moved to Perth not that long ago, and I didn't expect much from the public transport system but I love it, also every time you drive the Mitchell Freeway at peak hour & just see the train go past while you happen to be stuck not moving in traffic, you regret not taking the train

Joondalup is pronounced Joon-Da-lup just FYI

perth resident here! i'd be interested in seeing even more southerly trains as a large number of people will drive down to bunbury, dunsbourugh or denmark for a weekend and i think a dedicated line from mandurah could be awesome. yeah transperth has its trains figured out. now its buses on the other hand-

Thanks!

I’m not sure how you can say ‘only 2 million’ - that’s huge. I’m going to assume you’re treating it like, that’s literally it, nothing beyond that unlike say how Chicago as a metro area of around 10 million people.

NGL, it feels kinda weird seeing a Canadian go this hard into playing along with the running joke in Australia that Perth is rea;.
