	"you might not think a ton about Perth"as someone who lives in Perth I couldn't agree more. I love it tho, I think it's so beautiful, you come her for the nature of the surrounding state not the city, but it is a pretty beautifully designed city (granted you're not out past 9pm...)
	Aye, this is my city, thanks for covering haha
	Interesting to see your perspective! As a Perth resident that used to (pre-pandemic) travel to cities like Tokyo, Singapore and Paris, I must admit I always thought the Perth public transport seemed to compare poorly. Its good at getting commuters into the CBD in the mornings, and out of the CBD in the evenings but pretty much useless for anything else (for me anyway). Tokyo / Singapore (major international cities) by comparison, actually had a convenient transport system for a tourist - where I transport links seemed to run a reasonable frequency even during the day.And yes, I'm aware there is a significant difference in city size that likely goes a long way toward explaining differences in transport infrastructure and functionality.
	Pronounced joon dol up - I know we don’t pronounce things they way they’re spelt
	perths transit system is ok,it costs alot of cash just to catch a quick ride tho
	Fun Fact, there is an independent Australian film called Last train to Freo.
	The c series is better because there is no carpet so it’s easier to clean
	Fun fact by the time Perth sorts its network in Germany and Japan consumer will be able to teleport to watever detination they want .
	I've been waiting for this video to come out for a year and im so proud to see a video about the city I live in
	Also, if your still struggling with pronouncing Joondalup, just call it whoop-whoop (oop as in book not poop) and no one will question you in the first place, trust
	As someone who has lived in Perth his whole life, and has used Transperth daily for like 5 years now, this video is a fat W and if you don’t subscribe, then you are not normal
	Probably been said alrwady but "Joondalup" has heavy emphasis on the "oon" and no emphasis on the "a" at all. Just letting you know as someone who's lived there their entire life Great video though! I really love our rail system to its cool to see it featured
	After metronet it'd be great to get regular train passenger service to Bunbury! The Australind gives us 1 train, and two trips a day. Currently out of service anyway. Bring back regional rail!
	….okay so i live on the mandurah line and do my fair share of grumping about how much longer it is than the others, but truly, I’ve never actually looked at how much further it physically goes on a map in comparison to the others, I always forget. Also shout out to the thornlie cockburn link i’m so excited not to be on one bus for an hour and a half every week
	As someone who has lived much of his life in Perth (born in UK, raised here, lived in Melbourne for a time, then moved back) I have to say a big thank you for this video. I am vision impaired and have a strong interest in public transport and urban planning. For years I was unimpressed with this city's public transport network and especially its railway but I have watched it grow and develop as my family lives in the south-central suburbs which relieds heavily on the Mandurah line (which like the Joon-dahl-up line is a metro, suburban railway and regional railway all rolled into one) and will be soon connected to the Thronlie-Cockburn line. The city has unique problems in that its population density is the third lowest while its distribution is officially the world's largest. However incremental bus service changes over the years have seen gradual improvements in connecting all these distant suburbs. I now live between Bull Creek and Fremantle stations which is an interesting case study because I rarely utilise Bull Creek station. In fact I actively avoid it during outbound journeys because of having to cross the truck-intensive Leach Highway. For city bound journeys I tend to catch the 160 bus because a stop for which is just 100m away and there is no need to connect between bus and train. I'm of the belief that when the Thornlie-Cockburn link is opened the 160 bus should be re-routed down the North Lake Road to Cockburn station while a new route is reimagined so it assumes the section of the 160 that commences once the bus enters Archibald St. The system is far from perfect and more needs to be done to encourage people to abandon their cars. Perth remains a city bound by the automobile in spite of its good public transport system and there are definite PT dead zones including where my family is situated. The future Fremantle extension of the Thornlie-Cockburn link was quietly shelved by the current government which is a shame as Fremantle is in need of a little TLC. Bus links leading south from Freo also leave a lot ot be desired while light rail between Murdoch and Fremantle has been mooted forever but looks to become a new Hobart light rail... We'd love to have you here! I'd recommend living somewhere along South Street or Ranford Road because of its metro-like bus network but beware! Anywhere beyond that might require 2km+ of walking in oppressive heat or pouring rain—there's no in between here! Finally some of the old DMUs were sold to Auckland before its railway network was recently electrified.
	Obviously you don't live to Perth. The rail system is a joke. It's built as an after thought, it doesn't enter main suburb centres. There only just building the rail to the airport now (2023). You have actually no idea. Whatever impressive statistics you built this video on the actual usability of it is terrible. And as someone who has done a fair bit of travel. Perth rail as nothing on places like Singapore, Tokyo etc.
	Transperth is quite good
	2:39 It's pronounced joon-DAH-LAHP (Moon, mar, mup as in muppet). curiously you almost got mandurah bang on (i'll forgive your accent for not pronouncing the j in mandurah). I notice you called the network impressive, however it is heavily subsidised by the government and a trip from Mandurah generally loses the about $35AUD per passenger.
	It is pronounced june-dah-lup
	Ahhh... Shhhhhhh. Don't say it too loud. Otherwise they'll privatize. God I hope they don't do that.
	"small"... "regional".... Im beginning to feel belittled by this channel lol....
	Great! Now if we could just use it without fear of getting put in Intensive Care after our inevitable assault that would be great x
	they plan to build an extension across reid highway and theres been talks of light or trams going from the city up to malaga.
	Great vid. ps Joondalup is pronounced: June-dah-lup. OR June-duhhh-lup lol. Our suburbs have dumb names lol. There is a road in Mandurah named: Mandjoogoordap Drive lol, try saying that 3 times fast haha. 10 points for pronouncing Cockburn correct lol..... people from eastern Australia constantly say it wrong. On a serious note, Perth needs a great rail network, because we are locked in by the Darling Range to the East, it is very difficult to expand our city eastwards. Instead we're forced to expand north and south. With such a thin line of suburbia, rail network is paramount as our roads can't handle the peak hour congestion. ALSO it seems that sooooooo many people from Perth LOVE their cars and would rather congest the freeways rather than using public transport. Personally I don't know why... our transit system is top shelf, I would use it to get to and from work, but I work night shift and the trains stop running at about midnight on weekdays.
	JOON-duh-Lup. Amazingly the one most people get wrong is by saying 'Man-DUR-uh', but you nailed that one. Great vid!
	Wow! What are the odds that this video randomly appears on my youtube homepage this morning?!? Today is my first day of on-track training to become a railcar driver here in Perth!You seem to know more about the network here than I do!
	You ain’t lived till you rode half the Joondalup line to the city then to the very end of the freo line to a store realised they were out of stock then road the freo back to the city then all the way to the very end of the midland line to a store that has stock then rode the midland all the way back to the city then halfway back up the Joondalup to home. spent about 5 hours on a train that day :(
	I really hope they do a cockburn to fremantle line also It's june-dah-lup
	As someone that lived in Perth , they was he pronounces Joondalup gave me a laugh. June-de-lup
	I biked from Kwinana to Cannington via Perth CBD once. long day.
	Too bad the trains run so infrequently here in Perth :(
	its a shame that we have a good system, but honestly i wouldnt recommend getting the train in perth, alot of unsaivory people
	More privatised transport, nothing Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1901 proclaimed and gazetted here folks, this is not public transport, this is privatised transport, more than likely foreign owned like Melbourne, owned by multiple countries, Singapore, one named.
	i bet he can say Mandjoogoordap better than most people in Perth for those not familiar it is an exit off the Kwinnana freeway (Mandurah line) and is the local Aboriginal word for the area as i am led to believe
	the rail network is fine... it's the poor supporting services that makes public transit mostly useless in Perth. All well and good that there are bus transfer stations, but the bus services outside of Perth are frustrating at best. What's the point of getting a fast, reliable train to a station where you then wait 1.5-2 hours for the next bus anyway? If you aren't using the train to get to the Perth CBD your end destination had better be within walking distance of your train station.
	great video! i live in the joondalup area and the pronouciation is atrotious ( it's pronounced dune-dal-up! :D) but i appreciate the attempt<3 i didn't know a lot of infomation in this video so it was very helpful! <3 this was actually my first look at the new trains :0
	I wouldn't recommend moving to Perth, it is an expensive shithole. Speaking as someone who lives there.
	Perth is gorgeous, progressing city with a great regional government and fantastic budgets. Its also got some of the most unique environments and conditions in the world.
	Like that you matched the colour of the tracks on the map to the actual colours used irl
	loving the video but jendalup? I know this isn't a language video but as a local its funny how people pronounce words different place names
	Got most of the pronunciation right, except Joondalup, which is pronounced June-de-lup
	Joondalup is pronounced Joon (Dune with a J) Da (dah) L-up.
	Perth is a very user friendly city with extensive recently upgraded cycle paths that also accommodate e-scooters. Great beaches very good climate. Perth really is a Jewel in the desert
	fuckin hell surprised anyone even talking about us
	this video helped me sleep and I always enjoy hearing someone talk about perth, great video didnt even know perths train system was a well managed one
	As a Perth local, the main issue with these train lines is they are very very loud, coming into Perth underground the screeching noise is so loud it triggers my Apple Watch to said dangerous noise levels. People waiting for the trains block their ears in anticipation of a trains arrival.
	It was fun seeing a video about my home city's rail network made from Canada. Just one point of correction though, and that is your pronunciation of Joondalup. The a is not emphasized. It's Joon/da/lup with the stress on the first syllable. and not on the middle one.
	A connection to Gilford Station is unfortunately not really plausible as the 'island' of guilford is almost entirely heritage and the rail itself is already takes up a large portion of guilford, being located smack bang in the middle of it. Really cool video though. I love seeing people cover perth. We are a small, isolated yet incredibly passionate peoples.
	Please mention the eshays on the train
	Once missed the last train home and had to sleep at perth underground
	It's pronounced "JOON-dalup"
	There's really not much interesting about Perth, but I'm glad to see we're getting a little recognition lmao
	High wycombe to perth airport underground tunnel to bayswater and along tonkin hwy to yanchep, the company i work for is only one of many who deliver reinforcing steel to develope the many stations along those new routes.This video just randomly showed up as something i might want to watch....well how about that.PS: glad you pronounced the suburb Co-burn (Cockburn) or there would have been many more funny comments similar to Joon-duh-lup (Joondalup).
	I've never heard a foreigner pronounce Joondalup before - it took me a second.Mandurah was pretty close, tho'
	you're from Montreal? I live in Perth and went to Montreal, didn't go everywhere but I loved the Métro. the whole rubber tyre thing was interesting
	Feels so weird seeing so many places I've been to and familiar pictures in a video made by an American.
	Ah the Armadale line.... What a pleasant experience. I tell you don't get that kinda excitement on the Japanese bullet train
	I've never really appreciated our rail system before, as all I had to compare to was Singapore. But seeing it in the bigger picture has made me appreciate it. Especially as someone who used to live in Madurah before the train line. Getting to the city was hell back then. I probably never would have bothered getting a university education if it wasn't for that line opening up.
	I learned a lot even as a Perthite and aside from joondalup, the pronunciation was on point, well done
	It's not June dal up its JOON DUH LUP ie JOONDALUP
	Don't care about trains but I'm from Perth so you get a view Ps the joondalup line is actually called the butler line
	As a Brisbane resident who's visited and used Perth transit a 5-6 years ago, I can't wait to come back after we've completed the CRR and compare how our cities have transformed over the years.
	The airport line actually starts at Claremont, half-way way down the Fremantle line but runs mostly on Fremantle and Midland tracks. Perth station is not overly crowded and has unused platforms. The rail network gets under 20% of its operating cost from fares, the rest from Government funds. Given the cost of the ticketing system and enforcement, it would be easier to make all rail travel free - which would also pull cars off roads cutting the huge road maintenance costs.
	It is not all wine and roses! Spare a thought for the people and council in the local station area where the latest "hub" will be (near Reid Highway). We were told told a bit of a station upgrade was happening. Then somewhere along the way we then found out our quiet township is going to be a major hub for several lines.The works for all the lines have been ongoing and the construction noise happening all night long, (illegally and when complaints were made Metronet, they said it shouldn't be happening, but of course nothing changed). Hundreds of trees and plants have been uprooted, and some of the business area in our township have also been virtually inaccessible for well over a year (probs closer to two). When queries were made about why this "hub station" wasn't being built at the next station along (which for years had vast amounts of vacant land, is very close to the Reid highway and the link, surrounded by businesses and LIA, so disturbance to local residents would be way less), the answer given was so that developers could then put in high-rise apartments (and make their mega profits). Yet we do not have zoning for high-rise apartments in our suburb. (Or we didn't, but who knows now as it seems money talks) Furthermore in a nearby suburb a railway crossing has been closed, with no notice taken of concerns from locals and no work done on the alternative routes have even begun........ In fact a tragic accident happened recently at the main alternate route and I fear for cyclist safety with some of the decisions made road wise.In spite of many local concerns and objections, this scheme was pushed through no matter what. Very "careful truths" were told and thus people were mislead, laws were broken and even the council has had very little say as Transperth steam roll through. Someone will be benefiting but not sure who as yet? When it is complete I guess we will just have to hope it works out well. Fingers crossed!
	It's pronounced June - da - lup. Joondalup. Great Vid Bud!
	Toronto (Whitby) is my hometown, now I live in Mandurah. I like the connection to your video.
	I live in Perth and it’s wonderful for my city to get some recognition!
	As a former long time resident of Perth (who now resides in QLD), I love to see videos like this :)The easy way bus-train transfers are done in Perth (including at stations on the legacy lines like Oats Street, Cannington, Midland, Fremantle and Claremont) is something all cities that want good transit should be doing (Brisbane gets a fail on this unfortunately)
	2:35 weirdest way i've heard Joondalup pronounced lmao
	It's not that extensive. Only really 4 1/2 lines and they aren't very interconnected with no direct connection between the major centres, e.g. no direct line from Midland to Armadale and the area directly in between. P.S. a point to explain a pronunciation issue that really stands out as severely wrong. It's pronounced Joon-dah-lup, absolutely not the way you say it. It's a Nyoongar Aboriginal word
	My city, used armadale line for years
	haha let me know if you ever do move to perth I might know some train people
	It’s interesting that our rail network could be seen as impressive. The major issue with transit in Perth is that all roads, and rail, lead to the cbd and nowhere else. And our urban sprawl is reflective of this trend
	I’m from Perth, and I nearly spat out my drink when I saw this video because I thought it was a joke. Maybe it’s because I live in the outermost suburbs of Perth, where the train lines don’t reach and the bus schedules suck.I will admit though, if you live in the inner/most populous suburbs, the public transport options are pretty damn good for such a small city.
	June - Dah - Larp (Joondalup) - Lots of Areas of Perth are named from the local Noongar word, "up" meaning "place of"
	Thanks for the great video and you might be interested in some more background. The isolation of Perth has been a major driver for the public transport system. The isolation kept a lid on growth up until relatively recently that fortunately allowed a lot of masterplanning to address the eventual expansion fed by the booming resource & agricultural sector. Our economic strength (recently rated #1 in the world) allowed politicians to be brave and think outside the box. Using the freeway median was un-tried anywhere in the world but because the state government still controlled all public transport, an integrated solution became possible. Every freeway effectively becomes a train\bus conduit that can then facillitate urban densification around major station hubs This even filters down to free bus transport in the CBD and Fremantle negating the need for expensive underground rail loops. The next phase will be to leverage the attractiveness of the system for living. Major interchanges wil become high density nodes and the rail network will encourage suburban expansion in a more efficient manner. Lastly the car has not been forgotten as upgrading the road network has been on-going for the last 20 years and features a nearly 200km long freeway to Bunbury in the south. And for the cherry on the top a fast-rail to Bunbury is currently being investigated which will effectively mean the largest regional centre becoming a 45 min trip to CBD. Good to be isolated sometimes!
	Been on all those lines. Best one is Mandurah line. Newer trains good bushland views. Only problem is Kwinana and wellard stations have a black spot for data coverage. The worst is thornlie or midland. Older trains and rougher areas. Fremantle line is convenient on a night out from Fremantle to Perth cbd or back.
	Bro you gotta come check out some of the locals riding the Armadale line during working hours
	I watched this video while on this rail network (Joondalup line). Your video was insightful; however, as a regular user of the transit system I can tell you that they do a phenomenal job at pretending the services are top class. Unfortunately, the train services are very limited. They used to have trains departing each station on the Joondalup/Mandurah lines every 4 minutes (sometimes 2 minutes if an "express" service was before another train). They not only shortened the peak period at which trains run frequently, but also extended time between each service. They also drove up transit fairs to a point where it was cheaper to drive into the city and pay for parking. Luckily the fair price was slashed recently, but the lengthy wait times remain. Some have hypothesised it was done to have more people per service running, making it cheaper for Transperth. This had an almost opposite effect to what I think they thought would happen: More people started commuting by car rather than train.Yes, there are plenty of bus services departing from the train stations; however, they are even more limited than what is advertised. They do not cover enough area frequently enough to make it worth while using bus services. This in turn causes fewer people to commute by train due to inconvenience.Apart from the rant I just gave, I can say the services are for the most part kept clean (depending on which line you are on of course). Of note is that you stay off the Armadale and Midland lines after dark.Great video nonetheless
	Smell of piss and drug addicts roam free. Yea sure, it's the best...
	And it posts a massive financial loss each year. But don't worry, taxpayers pick up the tab. Because, you know, public transport is a science/policy fantasy akin to solar/wind meeting our energy needs.
	The speaker is not pronouncing Jundalup right. It's Junda lup
	68,722 views = 68,722 Western Australians clicking the thumbnail and cheering because their city is finally getting recognised.
	As someone who had to commute from Joondalup to Fremantle daily for several years, I am thankful for the Transperth system. The parking at the stations is $2/day and for students, the fare is capped at $2. So $6 a day for a 100km stress free commute and parking was a godsend.
	I rode the old diesel trains in Perth as a kid.
	Don't forget their guards like to assault people as well. Jesus was a vegan hippie.
	JoooondallupEmphasis on the joooon not the dallup
	Awesome video mate you are now a adopted west Aussie.
	Growing up in perth spoiled me when i traveled overseas. I brag to all my international friends about our public transport system. Also it's pronounced June-dal-up
	the way you pronounce joondalup is hilarious
	It does suck waiting 15 mins for each train in the middle of a week day. Either South or North or East lines
	Great Video,What the airport line/Tunnel also will provide is $5-6 transport for resource,business and airport workers daily who would normally pay anywhere from $30 -$100 dollars one way with Taxis or Uber or high airport parking costs ,Will also be a boom for tourist,s to access the city and suburbs 5 x times faster
	living in South Perth and attending UWA: guess trains don’t exist, time to spend 50 minutes taking buses less than 10km in the middle of the fucking city.
	Transperth is stupidly overpriced.
	Toot toot
	There is also plans to changing the Armidale line to a, I think it's called an above ground track (it's on a bridge) as the current tracks have multiple road crossings there are horrendous to cross during peak hour traffic.
	Minor pronouncement issue, Joondalup sound more like June-duh-lup with every syllable around the same length, instead of joon-dalip otherwise very informational great video
	BTW, the WA government is closing the Armadale line for 18 months so that 7 road crossing can be eliminated.
	Painful to hear but it's Joondalup pronounced June-da-lup not June-dal-up
	perth public transport is so inefficient. only really used 4 hours a day 5 days a week, rest of the time you can’t get anywhere on public transport unless you are completely time rich, e.g. if you want to go from Armadale to Freo on the weekend almost quicker to walk

"you might not think a ton about Perth"as someone who lives in Perth I couldn't agree more. I love it tho, I think it's so beautiful, you come her for the nature of the surrounding state not the city, but it is a pretty beautifully designed city (granted you're not out past 9pm...)

After metronet it'd be great to get regular train passenger service to Bunbury! The Australind gives us 1 train, and two trips a day. Currently out of service anyway. Bring back regional rail!

All well and good that there are bus transfer stations, but the bus services outside of Perth are frustrating at best. What's the point of getting a fast, reliable train to a station where you then wait 1.5-2 hours for the next bus anyway? If you aren't using the train to get to the Perth CBD your end destination had better be within walking distance of your train station.

great video! i live in the joondalup area and the pronouciation is atrotious ( it's pronounced dune-dal-up! :D) but i appreciate the attempt<3 i didn't know a lot of infomation in this video so it was very helpful! <3 this was actually my first look at the new trains :0

I wouldn't recommend moving to Perth, it is an expensive shithole. Speaking as someone who lives there.

Perth is gorgeous, progressing city with a great regional government and fantastic budgets. Its also got some of the most unique environments and conditions in the world.

Like that you matched the colour of the tracks on the map to the actual colours used irl

loving the video but jendalup? I know this isn't a language video but as a local its funny how people pronounce words different place names

Got most of the pronunciation right, except Joondalup, which is pronounced June-de-lup

Joondalup is pronounced Joon (Dune with a J) Da (dah) L-up.

Perth is a very user friendly city with extensive recently upgraded cycle paths that also accommodate e-scooters. Great beaches very good climate. Perth really is a Jewel in the desert

fuckin hell surprised anyone even talking about us

this video helped me sleep and I always enjoy hearing someone talk about perth, great video didnt even know perths train system was a well managed one

As a Perth local, the main issue with these train lines is they are very very loud, coming into Perth underground the screeching noise is so loud it triggers my Apple Watch to said dangerous noise levels. People waiting for the trains block their ears in anticipation of a trains arrival.

It was fun seeing a video about my home city's rail network made from Canada. Just one point of correction though, and that is your pronunciation of Joondalup. The a is not emphasized. It's Joon/da/lup with the stress on the first syllable. and not on the middle one.

A connection to Gilford Station is unfortunately not really plausible as the 'island' of guilford is almost entirely heritage and the rail itself is already takes up a large portion of guilford, being located smack bang in the middle of it. Really cool video though. I love seeing people cover perth. We are a small, isolated yet incredibly passionate peoples.

Please mention the eshays on the train

Once missed the last train home and had to sleep at perth underground

It's pronounced "JOON-dalup"

There's really not much interesting about Perth, but I'm glad to see we're getting a little recognition lmao

High wycombe to perth airport underground tunnel to bayswater and along tonkin hwy to yanchep, the company i work for is only one of many who deliver reinforcing steel to develope the many stations along those new routes.This video just randomly showed up as something i might want to watch....well how about that.PS: glad you pronounced the suburb Co-burn (Cockburn) or there would have been many more funny comments similar to Joon-duh-lup (Joondalup).

I've never heard a foreigner pronounce Joondalup before - it took me a second.Mandurah was pretty close, tho'

you're from Montreal? I live in Perth and went to Montreal, didn't go everywhere but I loved the Métro. the whole rubber tyre thing was interesting

Feels so weird seeing so many places I've been to and familiar pictures in a video made by an American.

Ah the Armadale line.... What a pleasant experience. I tell you don't get that kinda excitement on the Japanese bullet train

I've never really appreciated our rail system before, as all I had to compare to was Singapore. But seeing it in the bigger picture has made me appreciate it. Especially as someone who used to live in Madurah before the train line. Getting to the city was hell back then. I probably never would have bothered getting a university education if it wasn't for that line opening up.

I learned a lot even as a Perthite and aside from joondalup, the pronunciation was on point, well done

It's not June dal up its JOON DUH LUP ie JOONDALUP

Don't care about trains but I'm from Perth so you get a view Ps the joondalup line is actually called the butler line

As a Brisbane resident who's visited and used Perth transit a 5-6 years ago, I can't wait to come back after we've completed the CRR and compare how our cities have transformed over the years.

The airport line actually starts at Claremont, half-way way down the Fremantle line but runs mostly on Fremantle and Midland tracks. Perth station is not overly crowded and has unused platforms. The rail network gets under 20% of its operating cost from fares, the rest from Government funds. Given the cost of the ticketing system and enforcement, it would be easier to make all rail travel free - which would also pull cars off roads cutting the huge road maintenance costs.

It is not all wine and roses! Spare a thought for the people and council in the local station area where the latest "hub" will be (near Reid Highway). We were told told a bit of a station upgrade was happening. Then somewhere along the way we then found out our quiet township is going to be a major hub for several lines.The works for all the lines have been ongoing and the construction noise happening all night long, (illegally and when complaints were made Metronet, they said it shouldn't be happening, but of course nothing changed). Hundreds of trees and plants have been uprooted, and some of the business area in our township have also been virtually inaccessible for well over a year (probs closer to two). When queries were made about why this "hub station" wasn't being built at the next station along (which for years had vast amounts of vacant land, is very close to the Reid highway and the link, surrounded by businesses and LIA, so disturbance to local residents would be way less), the answer given was so that developers could then put in high-rise apartments (and make their mega profits). Yet we do not have zoning for high-rise apartments in our suburb. (Or we didn't, but who knows now as it seems money talks) Furthermore in a nearby suburb a railway crossing has been closed, with no notice taken of concerns from locals and no work done on the alternative routes have even begun........ In fact a tragic accident happened recently at the main alternate route and I fear for cyclist safety with some of the decisions made road wise.In spite of many local concerns and objections, this scheme was pushed through no matter what. Very "careful truths" were told and thus people were mislead, laws were broken and even the council has had very little say as Transperth steam roll through. Someone will be benefiting but not sure who as yet? When it is complete I guess we will just have to hope it works out well. Fingers crossed!

It's pronounced June - da - lup. Joondalup. Great Vid Bud!

Toronto (Whitby) is my hometown, now I live in Mandurah. I like the connection to your video.

I live in Perth and it’s wonderful for my city to get some recognition!

As a former long time resident of Perth (who now resides in QLD), I love to see videos like this :)The easy way bus-train transfers are done in Perth (including at stations on the legacy lines like Oats Street, Cannington, Midland, Fremantle and Claremont) is something all cities that want good transit should be doing (Brisbane gets a fail on this unfortunately)

2:35 weirdest way i've heard Joondalup pronounced lmao

It's not that extensive. Only really 4 1/2 lines and they aren't very interconnected with no direct connection between the major centres, e.g. no direct line from Midland to Armadale and the area directly in between. P.S. a point to explain a pronunciation issue that really stands out as severely wrong. It's pronounced Joon-dah-lup, absolutely not the way you say it. It's a Nyoongar Aboriginal word

My city, used armadale line for years

haha let me know if you ever do move to perth I might know some train people

It’s interesting that our rail network could be seen as impressive. The major issue with transit in Perth is that all roads, and rail, lead to the cbd and nowhere else. And our urban sprawl is reflective of this trend

I’m from Perth, and I nearly spat out my drink when I saw this video because I thought it was a joke. Maybe it’s because I live in the outermost suburbs of Perth, where the train lines don’t reach and the bus schedules suck.I will admit though, if you live in the inner/most populous suburbs, the public transport options are pretty damn good for such a small city.

June - Dah - Larp (Joondalup) - Lots of Areas of Perth are named from the local Noongar word, "up" meaning "place of"

Thanks for the great video and you might be interested in some more background. The isolation of Perth has been a major driver for the public transport system. The isolation kept a lid on growth up until relatively recently that fortunately allowed a lot of masterplanning to address the eventual expansion fed by the booming resource & agricultural sector. Our economic strength (recently rated #1 in the world) allowed politicians to be brave and think outside the box. Using the freeway median was un-tried anywhere in the world but because the state government still controlled all public transport, an integrated solution became possible. Every freeway effectively becomes a train\bus conduit that can then facillitate urban densification around major station hubs This even filters down to free bus transport in the CBD and Fremantle negating the need for expensive underground rail loops. The next phase will be to leverage the attractiveness of the system for living. Major interchanges wil become high density nodes and the rail network will encourage suburban expansion in a more efficient manner. Lastly the car has not been forgotten as upgrading the road network has been on-going for the last 20 years and features a nearly 200km long freeway to Bunbury in the south. And for the cherry on the top a fast-rail to Bunbury is currently being investigated which will effectively mean the largest regional centre becoming a 45 min trip to CBD. Good to be isolated sometimes!

Been on all those lines. Best one is Mandurah line. Newer trains good bushland views. Only problem is Kwinana and wellard stations have a black spot for data coverage. The worst is thornlie or midland. Older trains and rougher areas. Fremantle line is convenient on a night out from Fremantle to Perth cbd or back.

Bro you gotta come check out some of the locals riding the Armadale line during working hours

I watched this video while on this rail network (Joondalup line). Your video was insightful; however, as a regular user of the transit system I can tell you that they do a phenomenal job at pretending the services are top class. Unfortunately, the train services are very limited. They used to have trains departing each station on the Joondalup/Mandurah lines every 4 minutes (sometimes 2 minutes if an "express" service was before another train). They not only shortened the peak period at which trains run frequently, but also extended time between each service. They also drove up transit fairs to a point where it was cheaper to drive into the city and pay for parking. Luckily the fair price was slashed recently, but the lengthy wait times remain. Some have hypothesised it was done to have more people per service running, making it cheaper for Transperth. This had an almost opposite effect to what I think they thought would happen: More people started commuting by car rather than train.Yes, there are plenty of bus services departing from the train stations; however, they are even more limited than what is advertised. They do not cover enough area frequently enough to make it worth while using bus services. This in turn causes fewer people to commute by train due to inconvenience.Apart from the rant I just gave, I can say the services are for the most part kept clean (depending on which line you are on of course). Of note is that you stay off the Armadale and Midland lines after dark.Great video nonetheless

Smell of piss and drug addicts roam free. Yea sure, it's the best...

And it posts a massive financial loss each year. But don't worry, taxpayers pick up the tab. Because, you know, public transport is a science/policy fantasy akin to solar/wind meeting our energy needs.

The speaker is not pronouncing Jundalup right. It's Junda lup

68,722 views = 68,722 Western Australians clicking the thumbnail and cheering because their city is finally getting recognised.

As someone who had to commute from Joondalup to Fremantle daily for several years, I am thankful for the Transperth system. The parking at the stations is $2/day and for students, the fare is capped at $2. So $6 a day for a 100km stress free commute and parking was a godsend.

I rode the old diesel trains in Perth as a kid.

Don't forget their guards like to assault people as well. Jesus was a vegan hippie.

JoooondallupEmphasis on the joooon not the dallup

Awesome video mate you are now a adopted west Aussie.

Growing up in perth spoiled me when i traveled overseas. I brag to all my international friends about our public transport system. Also it's pronounced June-dal-up

the way you pronounce joondalup is hilarious

It does suck waiting 15 mins for each train in the middle of a week day. Either South or North or East lines

Great Video,What the airport line/Tunnel also will provide is $5-6 transport for resource,business and airport workers daily who would normally pay anywhere from $30 -$100 dollars one way with Taxis or Uber or high airport parking costs ,Will also be a boom for tourist,s to access the city and suburbs 5 x times faster

living in South Perth and attending UWA: guess trains don’t exist, time to spend 50 minutes taking buses less than 10km in the middle of the fucking city.

Transperth is stupidly overpriced.

Toot toot

There is also plans to changing the Armidale line to a, I think it's called an above ground track (it's on a bridge) as the current tracks have multiple road crossings there are horrendous to cross during peak hour traffic.

Minor pronouncement issue, Joondalup sound more like June-duh-lup with every syllable around the same length, instead of joon-dalip otherwise very informational great video

BTW, the WA government is closing the Armadale line for 18 months so that 7 road crossing can be eliminated.

Painful to hear but it's Joondalup pronounced June-da-lup not June-dal-up

perth public transport is so inefficient. only really used 4 hours a day 5 days a week, rest of the time you can’t get anywhere on public transport unless you are completely time rich, e.g. if you want to go from Armadale to Freo on the weekend almost quicker to walk
