	Strangely fascinating overview of the train network of the city I grew up in. But I can't say I ever found Perth's train system to be that amazing. Melbourne's seems much better, even if extremely congested. But Perth's population density is very low, so I guess it's hard to provide a service to everyone. Plus Perth has poured a lot of money into their system over the past couple of decades.Good work on pronouncing Cockburn correctly, though you did totally butcher Joondalup (it's June-dal-up). You might want to reconsider Montreal versus Perth as well. Perth's average winter maximum temperature isn't far off Montreal's average maximum summer temperature.
	Interesting presentation, but being a local of Perth we could not stop laughing at the pronouncation of Joondalup you say it like this (June - Da - Lup)
	I would rather lower taxes thanks.
	Wow, I loved this video. As someone from perth I just take it for granted but have never really thought how extensive our metro trains are when compared to other metro setups.
	wow, i've lived in perth for my whole life and i had no idea about half of the things you said regarding perth. cool and thanks!
	When I went to Perth and saw the trains. I realised that they moved faster than Sydney trains...
	Growing up in Perth I really took our train system for granted but when I went to Toronto this pass month I found the system to be confusing, the ease of the Perth system and how it works is also similar to Japan and I mean the way it’s set up for people to use, such bus terminals being right next to the stations. I want to see a ring connecting the outer suburbs with one another, it would save so much time instead of going into the city the back out
	we have the oldest crappiest train ever. You forgot that fact
	I enjoyed this video because I saw my house and the tennis club I work at in the clips from Bayswater, nice
	btw the green line is pronounced june de Lup
	We also have a massive network of rail lines through our south west and great southern region but sadly the line closed for passenger travel in 1979. They are only rated for freight now though we are pushing to get them reopened for carrying passengers
	I live in this city, thank you for doing the video. Great job!!
	I'm from Perth and you're the first non-Western Australian to pronounced Cockburn Central properly. Did you do a research to make sure you were saying it right? Also we say Joondalup as June-duh-lup :)
	Never felt so appreciative of the train line. I didn’t realise how good we have it!
	Loved this video, really cool seeing this about my home city!
	Joondallup…pronounced with emphasis on “Joon” rather than “dal”. JOONdallup. Just a tip.
	I'm impressed you pronounced Cockburn correctly, but I gotta laugh with hoe you pronounced Joondalup
	Nice video. BTW, it's pronounced "June-DA-lup". The "up" suffix denoting a place with water in the Noongar language.
	i forgot we existed in the same world as the rest of you all
	Thanks for that a lot of information I’ve never know and I’ve been in Perth for 27 years
	It's the Joondalup line
	We have one of the largest urban sprawls by population of any city in the world. And i live in Yanchep near the end of the new line I was a city car courier for 25 years the changes that came about in that time were quite large we still have some diesel services that come into the city from the country via the midland "which has the ability to carry 2 gauges" line from the Avon and Kalgoorlie Boulder.
	I'd like to see something like this that covers the Queensland Rail network.
	Perth's metro seems like it could be a good model for transit systems in US cities, particularly Los Angeles.
	We are about to be roasted in the comments about having a suburb called cockburn (pronounced co-burn)
	as someone who lives in perth and has never really put too much thought into the public transport, this was very entertaining and educational to watch. Thank you.
	Agree a lot has been done on rail and road. The downside is we can't seem to get away from road works and other construction.
	Learnt something! Appreciate it. Keep up the good work!
	As someone from Perth, I feel that our public transport is not that good. But I guess it compares well against other public transport networks.
	I love how he says Jindalup line. Now I think that’s incorrect but if it isn’t please tell me
	its so odd to see a vid on Perth
	Great video, I had no idea we were even getting an airport train line! Also, you're more than welcome to come live in Perth!
	Perthian here… fun facts:- A series can be tripled up, but its extremely rate- the true length of the metro area is about 160km long and about 50km at its widest- itll be way too hard to double the midland line, the train runs through heritage areas and is already quite cramped
	Joon-duh-lup, not Joon-dAl-lup. Just an FYI :)
	Come on over! My partner is a Geotechnical engineer from Memphis and continues to contribute to Metronet, among many other projects. We have friends from the US, Canada, Germany, and India, and collectively we all love this place. And if you want to buy a house, just wait for the bottom of a resources cycle which seems to occur every 7-10 years.
	I live in Perth and built part of Lakelands station
	Excellent video. Just one thing: Joondalup is pronounced with the stress on the first syllable ie. "JOON - da- lup." However, you did pronounce Cockburn correctly. Many place names in Western Australia end with "up", which comes from an Aboriginal word meaning 'place of," eg. Boyanup, meaning "place of rock." And yes, Perth does actually look as good as it appears in the video.
	Just don’t go on the Armadale line without your stab proof vest
	I grew up in Thornlie in the 90/00s and the trains were great if you wanted to go to the city, not great for anywhere else.No matter where you wanted to go you had to go through the CBD.Getting to Kwinana from Thornlie by train was a huge round trip mostly in the wrong direction. Buses weren't a fast enough option due to the number of stops.This was also reflected in how you buy tickets, which was determined by zones circling out from the city centre. Which was unintuitive if you wanted to travel along several lines.Good to see they are finally installing some east/west running lines. Also, finally a decent option to get to the airport.
	The public transport in Perth really is amazing. Every time I'm there its easier to get around using public transport most of the time than it is driving, especially around the busier areas
	such a pity more people don't use the train system. The highways are still clogged by clowns that can't drive.
	Perth represent. You would enjoy your trip to Perth for sure. But watch out for the idiots you get on the Armadale and Midland line. You get em on the Freo line aswell but fewer
	Awesome video! So cool to see Perth recognised for something they do really well. I don't know if it has been mentioned in the comments already and I didn't hear it in the video so I though I would share. The Mandurah line has a new station called Aubin Grove only a couple of years old between the Cockburn Central and Kwinana to reduce that 10 minute train ride gap between the two stations. Extra fun fact is that after 12am the train is free to ride which on Friday and Saturday night when the last trains out of town leave at 2.15am has been a lifesaver to get home from clubbing when I live nearly at the end of the mandurah line! :)
	how does he get Cockburn right but not Joondalup
	It's always good to find videos of my hometown in my feed.
	Yes move to Perth and we can teach you how to correctly pronounce Joondalup
	Nice but Joondalup is pronounced as June-da-lup
	While the coverage. Without railway and bus. It would be nightmare for highway as it is already a huge traffic jam in peak hour that everyone go to work at the same time.It is rather comparing the public spending policy of state level government (plus some grant from Fed level) of Australia and Canada for why Perth have a better coverage than "similar" city in America and Canada
	Elisabeth Quay was known as Esplanade when the station was opened. It was renamed after a fancy inner city redevelopment to raise revenue
	Watching this while on the train home from Joondalup to Cockburn Central
	thank you for covering perth, for people love calm life, nice and kind people, ton of job, high salary city, i love this city
	my city
	"small regional networks"does this guy live in Sao Paolo or something?
	Can't wait till Christchurch City New Zealand get our train lines soon! Government said it be started soon, we still waiting but fingers crossed as our roads and moterways in Christchurch is becoming shocking and to many cars on the rds! Bus's just don't cut it now days!
	I live in Perth so this video was really interesting to watch. Although your pronouncing of “Joondalup” was wrong, it’s “June-da-lup”.
	I live in the east of Perth and wish they would extend the rail from Midland up to Mundaring but I don't think that will ever happen in my lifetime. By the way Joondalup is pronounced June-duh-lup.
	Yeah but we really need a cockburn - freo link
	PERFECT video if any of U have kids to do a project at school!
	Population is closer to 2.7 million. And yes our trainlines are brilliant.Stirling Station won a design award the year after it was built.
	Have you been up and down the Armadale line. Ever had to take that to work everyday? Yeah nah…it’s not that great mate
	Should make the train station become a commercial complex and a shopping centre, rental income can susidise train fares. And more people will take public transport since it is much more convenience. parking is another issue why people found hard to take a train.
	Joon da lup. Thing with austraa'ia a lot of place names are aboriginal in origin.You are right, theoretically you could've maybe had faster trains but as someone who lives in perth and has used trains quite a bit going up and down from the CBD going south, by the time the train hits top speed its already slowing down to get into the next station. It wouldn't really make a difference. the lengthiest bit of track is between Wellard and Mandurah.. that's about 15 minutes.
	yes go Perth!
	Impressive! Both the video and the railway network.
	You still need to wear a muzzle like a zombie sheep to travel in it though. Move on Perth, the rest of the world has.
	The Perth Public Transport Authority operates some of the highest levels of electrical isolation requirements in the world. All services into a station (including water) must be galvanically isolated. The ring-lock / cyclone fences running along the reserve must include an isolating panel every couple of kilometers, and this panel must be wider than the arm-span of two people holding hands. Safety controls across the entire network are extensive, and almost unique in the world.
	Come to Perth bro I'll shout you a beer
	Great content
	Also there is 1000's KMs of heavy haul rail in north west of Western Australia including Rio Tinto Autonomous trains, but I didn't know Perth network wasn't standard gauge (1435mm)
	It’s pronounced joon da lup
	Where’s ‘Junedallap’?? Try ‘June-dal-up’….Joondalup!….
	Blown away ! Learned more about my local rail transit network from a Canadian than from having lived here for 60 years ! Great channel, great video. The rail upgrades for the new Perth stadium now allow up to 22 trains to be stacked to enable movement of about 28,500 per hour to or from the venue. A magnificent visual site when it is operating at full capacity during stadium events.
	This service runs from Perth, to Mandurah, stopping at all stations.except canning bridge
	Having travelled overseas and been on the Euro, London, Paris and high speed train to Southern France I absolutely love my train trips from Mandurah to Perth and on occasion straight through to Joondalup. Above ground is always preferred, as a chance to view the suburbs and countryside on the way, it was my highlight of travelling down south across France.
	I like how the A and B series railcars have a clean modern look. Then you look at modern at railcars form other cities and they look like ugly 1970's railcars.
	The pronunciation of Joondalup is vexing Spelt Joondalup, pronounced June - dal - upGreat video though, I am from Perth did not know half this stuff cheers
	Came back to Perth, we can only witness an unending sea of huge, tall cement fences and wired bars along the train lines.MAIN Road DEP. HAS SUCCESSFUL RUINED OUR ENVIRONMENT, Made any tourists ridicule when riding on our rail systems. SEING ONLY CEMENT WALLS.
	I'm surprised you didn't mention that the state government has recently capped fares across the whole network at 2 zones. This has reduced transit costs massively for anyone travelling out further than Zone 2 (areas which include Ellenbrook, Armadale, Joondalup, the Hills, and Mandurah - which is in Zone 7!).Let's hope future governments don't rescind this accommodation. It will save commuters money every week and help bring the outer suburbs closer to the City.
	Hey, I like your video. FYI, the Fremantle line used to travel a bit further south. The line is still there, but only used for freight now. As others have mentioned, Joondalup does not have the 'a' stressed when spoken. If anything, it's more JOON-d'-lup.
	You would love perth great train system and excellent weather too far warmer than Canada
	I've never heard Joondalup pronounced this way
	You missed the best part. On top of the numerous free travel areas, with a smartrider card (available from most newsagents), I can travel to and from anywhere on the network for $3.95 (about $2.80USD).
	Perth is densely packed so it would not be easy to extend the rail network above ground. Underground would be costly. Also the population is more like 2.2M. WA is expanding massively in the SW so that's where a rail network expansion would help.
	Perth Airport actually has 4 terminals with a shuttle bus.
	It's Joondalup (English 'a') not Joondalup ('American a').
	Ai, Ai, Ai!!!Get the pronunciation right!.Not too difficult to Google Australian pronunciation ."June da loop"
	:'The Joon-dah-lip line"
	Love you pronounced Cockburn properly
	lol the amount of times I've seen mfs puking on the freo line on Saturday night.
	excellent video and summary of the planned Metronet projects I'm currently working on the Morley Ellenbrook line and once this and the airport link are completed the network will be second to none.
	Man, I live locally, that's not how anyone say Joondalup. Say it June delup, less empathise on the da, more like de. Not sure if that's how it's meant to be said, but that's how everyone says it
	wow just had to call out Melbourne's lack of train station at our international airport.
	joonDALup line hahahahaha joon-duh-lup sounds so funny hearing you pronounce it as a perth born and raised
	The one thing that really irked me was the way you pronounced Joondalup, as a local its Joon-da-lup not Jun-dal-up
	im expecting this project to be overbudget and overdue like ALL projects. The exchange of interests in capital construction in mind-blowing!
	Love the video but the how joondulup was pronounced was very painful. locally it is June-da-lup
	Share your Armadale Line horror stories down below.mine: Heroine Needle stuck to a seat
	One thing worth noting is Perth's "regional" population is mostly south, so the rail line and freeway from the south carry a lot of traffic during events. Our major sporting stadium is in Burswood on the Armadale 3 stops east of the CBD. The whole point of the Thornlie: Cockburn link is to connect regional and southern suburb travellers through Cockburn transfer to the stadium so they don't have to transfer through the Perth station. Mandurah line from the South does connect to the Armadale line, but obviously means that no trains can be in the city on either lines as that train passes through. And the stadium holds 60,000 people. So its a huge network congestion issue in the city during sporting events. This link will also take pressure off cars traveling west to east for work. Our suburban east west road network is highly congested already. I've been loving seeing the labour government invest in it again. Literally billions of dollars on infrastructure all at once. It's almost pornographic
	Hey im from Perth. Very cool video. Just wanted to say Joondalup is pronounced more like (Jooon-Dal-up)
	You don't want to move to Australia. It's still beautiful, but run by idiots. Prices are just ridiculous. Full time working families are struggling to pay rent, buy food, pay bills etc. Tiny little single story houses (we call "flutes") on tiny little blocks are being built in country towns like Bunbury, so people can afford their own property ( even if it is only a little dog kennel in the bush). Seriously, it's getting pretty bad.

Strangely fascinating overview of the train network of the city I grew up in. But I can't say I ever found Perth's train system to be that amazing. Melbourne's seems much better, even if extremely congested. But Perth's population density is very low, so I guess it's hard to provide a service to everyone. Plus Perth has poured a lot of money into their system over the past couple of decades.Good work on pronouncing Cockburn correctly, though you did totally butcher Joondalup (it's June-dal-up). You might want to reconsider Montreal versus Perth as well. Perth's average winter maximum temperature isn't far off Montreal's average maximum summer temperature.

Interesting presentation, but being a local of Perth we could not stop laughing at the pronouncation of Joondalup you say it like this (June - Da - Lup)

I would rather lower taxes thanks.

we have the oldest crappiest train ever. You forgot that fact

I enjoyed this video because I saw my house and the tennis club I work at in the clips from Bayswater, nice

btw the green line is pronounced june de Lup

We also have a massive network of rail lines through our south west and great southern region but sadly the line closed for passenger travel in 1979. They are only rated for freight now though we are pushing to get them reopened for carrying passengers

I live in this city, thank you for doing the video. Great job!!

Joondallup…pronounced with emphasis on “Joon” rather than “dal”. JOONdallup. Just a tip.

I'm impressed you pronounced Cockburn correctly, but I gotta laugh with hoe you pronounced Joondalup

Nice video. BTW, it's pronounced "June-DA-lup". The "up" suffix denoting a place with water in the Noongar language.

The whole point of the Thornlie: Cockburn link is to connect regional and southern suburb travellers through Cockburn transfer to the stadium so they don't have to transfer through the Perth station. Mandurah line from the South does connect to the Armadale line, but obviously means that no trains can be in the city on either lines as that train passes through. And the stadium holds 60,000 people. So its a huge network congestion issue in the city during sporting events. This link will also take pressure off cars traveling west to east for work. Our suburban east west road network is highly congested already. I've been loving seeing the labour government invest in it again. Literally billions of dollars on infrastructure all at once. It's almost pornographic

Hey im from Perth. Very cool video. Just wanted to say Joondalup is pronounced more like (Jooon-Dal-up)

You don't want to move to Australia. It's still beautiful, but run by idiots. Prices are just ridiculous. Full time working families are struggling to pay rent, buy food, pay bills etc. Tiny little single story houses (we call "flutes") on tiny little blocks are being built in country towns like Bunbury, so people can afford their own property ( even if it is only a little dog kennel in the bush). Seriously, it's getting pretty bad.
