I’m super keen to travel the new line out to the airport T1/T2 when it’s finished.
perths not that isolated its only a 16 hour drive from where i live
Transperth is the only railway in Australia uses Huawei as communication solution despite federal objections.
Fremantle is my favourite line, you can feel the money all the way.
Man seeing this, made my day I don't often see many people today about Perth compared to the Eastern States.
Perth for much of its History, has been nothing more than a Big Country Town. Meaning, everybody drives. Everywhere! We needed at least two more Suburban Train lines. Better Ferry services on the Swan and Canning Rivers.And we never should have got rid of our Trams. I ride the Trains five days a week on average. Work or shopping. They are better now than in the Diesal era.
the seat covers on the Perth trains are woven Kevlar
As someone who lives in the City of Joondalup his pronunciation of joondalup hurts my soul
aside from the pronunciation of joondalup this is a great video man. very happy to see someone cover our rail network
The train doesn't even go to the airport or the beach. The 2 main places it should go to. Great video, but Perths infrastructure is lacking a lot of pragmatic long term problem solving.
2:37 in. You pronounced "Joondalup" completely WRONG, Not even close. By the way, the "up" at the end of the word means "water" in an aboriginal language, you will see it in many names of places in Western Australia.
Was so confused as to what the north line was Joondalup pronunciation in this is comedic
It's cheap too, the most you have to pay a day for the trains is under $4
Yes, I’m from WA
9:00 the line is unlikley to go into guildford because of the massive amounts of historical buildings right next to guildford station.
We used to have trams but we got ride of them because to to aging rolling stock
Joondalup is pronounced: Joon-dall---up. the up is said with a slightly larger pause before it, as if it is a seprate word. Sounds weird the way you said it (I live in Western Australia).Admittedly, you are dealing with an indigenous word, which most Australians mispronounce anyway sicne the language was never meant to be put in a written form.
The one complaint I have (as someone who lives in Perth) is that it all depends on 1 stations… Perth station. All of our lines meet their and it gets congested with foot traffic frequently with events such as sports. I think the metro net upgrade will help alleviate this.Also Joondalup is pronounced as June-da-lup
Hey please fix the JEWN Dah Lup pronunciation.
I use to live in Perth. This is all the same
Lol the pronouciation of joondalup was pretty funny.
The success of the railway system bores down to the fact it easier, cheaper and faster to use the rail than to drive if your commuting to the city during peak hour and the park and ride system for those in the more outer suburbs. I live 15 mins walk from the Canning bridge station (Mandurah Line), though I could easily drive which could take 35-50min (incl. parking time) it just easier to to take the train for times I have to commute into the city in peak hour traffic. 2 hours of paid city parking cost the same as a return train/bus/ferry ticket home. There is untapped potential of a boarder ferry service in Perth. I found the ferry service in Brisbane to be quite convenient.
Its so weird listening to you explain the public transport in my city over clips of places i visit dailyi love it
FYI, Joondalup is pronounced as Joon-duh-loop.Apart from that some pretty good research
I’m sure I pronounce other suburbs wrong in other countries but I couldn’t help but laugh every time you talked about Joondalup
That pronunciation of Joondalup irks me. But that's far from the only Perth suburb that is mispronounced by non locals.
I remember catching the train in the 90's as a small child. Mum said I used to say every stop from the North of the Joondalup line, down to the city. Thanks for covering Perth.
Great video but Joondalup is pronounced Junedallup and spoken quickly .. Thanks Peter Armadale Western Australia
Pronounced June D Lup
The issue is the people on the trains
I live in Perth and this video is great.. but it hurts me how you say Joondalup
Thanks for this. I live in Perth and live along the mandurah train line. I barley use my car due to the amazing network we have here. Public transport fares recently reduced , its now cheaper to use trains/ busses compared to cars on some lines. Its gonna get better with more trains coming onbaord. Love our public transport network.
I have been waiting for somebody to cover Perth’s train network for so long and you’ve done really well, thank you!!
Funnily enough, we used to have even more regional trains/lines in old days; and also a metropolitan tram system that stretched in to the outer suburbs
I feel like there was a missed opportunity to talk about the very little talked about train line that runs from Perth city, past Armadale to Bunbury. As part of Metronet that line will also be receiving a brand new train something that hasn’t happened since the train line was introduced in the 1970s.
Another Perth person here! I live way out far from the cbd now (my house is pretty much off the main road in the top right corner of the map) and it was fascinating to watch someone do my home state! Have Been on all the train lines but my God I do wanna start saying joondalup station like you! Hahaha
nice video. People in perth complain about the public transport. Don't know why, its so much better than a lot of other places. All trains going in to Perth station is a problem though and they should create a spur from leederville to west leederville so travellers can go to Freo direct from the northern suburbs. closing the circle in the northern suburbs would be good to, whether its to Joondalup or stirlng.
its very cool recognising all these places shown
The pronunciation of Joondalup gave me a good laugh.
Go that place I live in haha. Very good man video. I'm thornlie based. Unfortunately thornlie station is fairly dated but hopefully that ugrade will help with that. But the system here is good. Transperth has been a solid system glad to see it get recognition
this irks me. he keeps saying joondalup with accent on the 'da' but it should have the 'joon' accented
That's 9 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
Adelaide, you know, that city of 1.4 million between Perth and Melbourne?
3:45 i threw up here last weekend :)
I live in Perth, such an obscure but unique place.
As someone that rides these trains I love the fact you used the actual line colours on the map like we see on the maps irl >.<
A ring would have been much better, south of the river now need 3 trains to get to the airport.
net up skynet and we fight the robots
Perth is looking at trialing Trackless Trams for the Glendalough to Scarborough Beach Rd route. New technology. It would be interesting to have some information on that. Something Prof Newman is enthusiastic about. The Govt tried to get trams up and running about 10 years ago between UWA and Curtin through the City and up Alexander Dr north, but couldn't get that first metre of track laid before the project was delayed indefinitely. It now looks like trackless trams may be the future. Do you have a view on this?
Metronet in future will be known as Metodebt Billion’s in the red and years behind schedule ‍ not to mention family homes property’s and Bussiness’s lost and severely effected to make way for such unnecessary stages of this project This money first and foremost should of been better spent on a ailing medical hospital & ambulance system’s that are in a current serious crisis and then concentrate on our original and ageing metropolitan and regional rail and road networks instead of blowing their trumpet on how good they are they need to get there priorities right and open the books and it’s time to be fully open and accountable to the western Australian taxpayers on how much on only just some of these bungled projects are costing and going to cost our future generation’s and beyond
The way you pronounce is Killing me, as a local Joondi
I love how you somehow managed to pronounce cockburn central “correctly” yet butchered Joon-dal-up Hahaha. I grew up with this network and also think it’s awesome!
The Perth people in these comments are making me cringe.
The way you say Joondalup upset me. It's Joon like goon but with a j instead, then it goes to da like Russian for yes and then lup like cup but with a l sound. Joon-da-lup
i doubt if any of this would run if it wasn't propped up by the govt bigtime.... all the roads are toll free too here... all paid for by mining....my wife from china always laughs at all the busses and trains that go by most of the day with literally 2 or 3 people on.... so packed in China and here people have their own private mercedes bus. .. We very rarely use them anyway, like most people here... perth is big enough by car, by public transport it is just too much time.... many journeys i make are 30 mins plus or minus 15 mins... but 90% of those same journeys by bus or train would be three hours or more. way too slow... not much use for most situations.
Perth's rail network is an absolute marvel and I lived through the installation of the Joondalup line back in the early 1990s. It was the Joondalup line that really got things going. I remember the newspapers calling the new stations akin to Startrek spaceships. Anyway, when I moved to Auckland in 1999 I was shocked to find Perth's old diesel trains from the 1980s and 1970s being used there. I rode those old diesel clunkers in the 1980s in Perth and I remember the doors actually came open once when we rode over the bridge at Fremantle port. As a kid I thought it was a great view but now realise how dangerous it was haha Going back to Auckland and seeing the trains and the (then) main station near the CBD close at 6pm, I was shocked. It was like going to the third world.
2:35, as someone who lives in Perth your pronunciation of Joondalup got me XD. its [joon-duh-luhp]
F*CKIN PERTH CITY!!! GET A DOG UP YA! BEST STATE IN THE F*CKIN WORLD C*NT
Got Randomly recommended this. and why not, it's my hometown, after all!Best Metropolitan transit network on the damn planet, IMO. you should see the BUS Network!!
Wow. Another hover train that can travel 1000kms an hour
Perth native here. Decent pronunciation, except it's JOON-d'lup
the lines call joon-DA-LA-UP.
i lived there for most my life, in perth is very confusing now, the idea was make it easer for disabled people to get on buses, what they did was make it more complex and confusing.
How he pronounces "Joondalup"
oh man, i've been drunk at so many of those train stations
An interesting fact about Perth and probably the reason for this high track length and station number to population ratio is that Perth is the second longest city in the world (behind Sochi). His idea at the end of the video for a loop are what we have been lacking for decades. Growing up as a child in the Armadale area and wanting to get to Fremantle was a real pain. I believe that even today there is still only one bus per day that does that route.
Add more security in trains and the parking stations where you leave your car and I might consider riding the train
the way this guy pronounces "Joondalup" is the best thing I've heard all day
This is so wild that we've made it here
And here I was thinking our public transport was crap. Appreciate the analysis though, cheers
What is so satisfying about it is its also called Trans - Perth like so "chefs kiss"
What's even cooler is the original plan promised at the 2018 election included more links between the rail lines, which will hopefully come back in a future 'Stage 2' once every current project is finished. There will be a loop between the city, Fremantle, and the Airport, along with a link between the Joondalup line and the Ellenbrook line. Perth will probably become the best connected city by rail in all of Australia in terms of hub and spoke connections then!
this is the first video ive seen on my hometown...
I’mSorry I’mFrom Perth and when you say the Joondalup line it’s pronounced “June-Da-Lup”
I’ve lived in Perth for a while and public transport is only good for getting in and out of the city. For going among suburbs, to the beach or hills or shops there are poor bus connections so everyone uses a car.
Love your work as always RMTransit and thanks for covering my hometown! Perth has an excellent public transport system for a city of its size and density. It used to be quite poor, I think the catalyst to improving it started in the 1980's when the Fremantle line was closed but public pressure forced its reopening and then with the early 90's electrification and then gained further momentum with the opening of the Joondalup line and later the Mandurah line. The quality and frequency of bus services has improved massively as well , for example I grew up in an inner Perth suburb in the 1990's where on a Sunday the bus frequency was every 2 hours, and the last bus out of the city was at 730pm! Now it runs every 15mins during the day on a Sunday and every half hour in the evenings until 11pm.
It's so interesting because a lot of people complain about the public transport system in Perth, but I think its pretty good in comparison to other cities. Although, the bus network needs a bit of improvement. But that's for another day!
Labor govts mate build rail in WA.Conservative govts have ripped up tracks, city and regional, forcing more trucks onto roads—bad news.Thank you for your wonderful video, a very accurate precis of the network. Metronet will be outstanding, and hopefully more to the country regions.
Joondalup line phonetically would phonetically be pronounced: June-Da-Lup
thanks to the WA Labor party thats actually in charge of Western Australia
As someone who uses transperth everyday I can confidently say you can to the majority of perth quite easily using both trains and busses
Yeah mate cometo perth
Thanks for showing Perth some love <3
A problem with alot of the older line like midland is they are land locked so a 4 line would not work.
Sssshhhh, please don't tell everyone, they will want to live here.
Good luck convincing dictator McCoward to let you into Perth
Great video. I’m from Perth and it was awesome to see our rail network from someone else’s eyes
JoonDAHlup line hahaha classic. That's how I'm gonna say it from now on. It's not like the inbreds that live there will know the difference.
They are also extending the Armadale line down to Buford
its pronounced joondeloop not joon dal loopits funny to hear lmaoo
im sorry but Joondalup is pronounced JUNE-DUH-LUP
The way he say Joondalup make me laugh, good try but very far off mate
Let’s go perth!
I live in Perth, and enjoy the train system we have here, it's funny however as I've always felt it to be lacking, and only now starting to feel like it's "getting there". So for you to say it's impressive for the density and population of the city puts things in perspective a bit.
There is a reason it seems like Perth does public transport so well. Because the state government woefully neglects the rest of the state to extreme levels to offset it. All this rail in the metro area, but if you drive another 1 hour from the city, your options from the 3rd largest city in the state to Perthon public transport are only twice per day on an outdated train that takes roughly 40% more time than driving, and costs well in excess of the petrol price. This is woefully unacceptable for a 1st world country, and the state government plans to spend 15 million dollars to replace the trains with more diesel trains that will neither be faster or cheaper.
u pronounced joondalup wrong
Great video. A little help with pronunciation Joon- DA- lup
Yes, move to Perth! It's the best city in the world to live in!
Another good thing about Perth is the simultaneous improvement to the roads, major intersections like airport drive have been rebuilt for higher capacity and better flow, the smart highways are helping a lot to stop traffic snakes, major roads and highways are always being upgraded for higher flow, and some roundabouts are getting the off ramps for turning traffic to stop congestion.
Thanks for this video. I like the video but you have pronounced "Joondalup" incorrectly
