	Awesome video, mate! But how did you know to prounounce Cockburn as Coburn? And just fyi Joondalup is pronounced June-duh-lup. From a Perth local it cracked me up that you got Cockburn right but not Joondalup
	Extensive The only thing extensive is the price of construction,the time of construction and the cost of that delay on motorists!
	I live in Perth. We need high speed rail. City trains and system are awesome, and has been country leading for the last 20 years. However we lack high speed rail to connect major hubs around WA.
	Interesting emphAsis on Joondalup there
	The cost of the Perth airport line will just be a regular 2 zone fare, about $4.50. Compared to the Brisbane and Sydney airport lines that cost $18-20+
	Brisbane has just over 2 million people as apposed to Perth - but has around 400kms of rail network. Please feature this system!
	This is a great video of a city that I am lucky enough to live in. Perth’s rail network is clean, safe, efficient and incredibly good value since state government introduced the 2 zone system. It was good value beforehand, but I can now travel from Clarkson in the north to Mandurah in the south, a journey of approximately 100kms, for AUD $4.90 (USD $3.50, GBP 2.80). At off peak times senior citizens can do the same journey for free. It was stated in the video, but it’s worth re-iterating, that bus travel within the central business district and select other areas is also free. I am originally from the UK and I have experienced first had the folly of privatisation. Long may Perth’s government run transport system exist.
	My uncle was a train driver in Perth, way back in the day. I remember riding up front with him on the midland line. They were definitely the good old days.
	RIP to Stokely Station on the Armadale line which was closed as part of the electrification.
	Wait.. is that how we should have been pronouncing Joondalup?In all seriousness though, fantastic video. I paid more attention and learnt more in this 10 minutes than anything Transperth have ever tried to show me.
	No mention of the Byford rail extension.
	The northern line is pronounced June-dah-lup. I have never heard the pronunciation used here, that's a first !
	you pronunced Joondalup wrong , think June-Da-Lup
	As someone who grew up with NR/underground, only been to NYC in the US and has witnessed the tokyo metro, i didnt realise perth was all that special when it comes to transport, but yeah, its very convinient and i often use it as an alternative to driving because its simply cheaper.
	The 2nd most isolated CAPITAL city in the world next to HonoluluThe pronouncement is "Joon-da-lup" not the other stupid way you pronounced the word.
	Joon-dalup is not being pronounced correctly.
	Nice video thanks for reviewing Perth its interesting to hear an outside perspective. Your pronounciation of Joondalup was a good try
	No place like Perth
	As someone who lives in Perth, this was very informative. I squirm at some pronunciations, however. Kibosh is pronounced KIE-bosh, not ku-BOSH. I don't expect a non-Perthite to know this, but Joondalup is pronounced JOON-du-lup with the emphasis on the first syllable.
	I Hope the Transwa train will be built from Perth to Geraldton, to Busselton, to Albany, and to Carnarvon.
	The public transport system in Perth is great and very reasonably priced very much looking forward to the Bayswater to Perth Airport spur line.
	The train network is great but if ur driving to work..ur screwed!!
	Half of the armadale line is also being lifted to be an overhead railway system, taking 18 months to be built
	Great idea having the Airport linked up. This will be a great help when I visit Bon Scott’s memorial
	It’s pronounced June-da-lup, not June-DAlup [Joondalup].
	Metro net is a joke....going to cost so much
	I have used the line quite a few times since coming to Perth, and I find them convenient and easy to use. nice and fast coming from the south and getting to the city without worrying about parking is suburb!
	Good stuff mate
	I moved here recently and from what I can tell they are planning long term.. so that current networks will last easily into next century and beyond. They rebuilt the entire road rail networks over the last 20 years or so for that reason.
	As someone who works in the Transperth system, this is a good overview of our rail network. We will have to educate you in how to pronounce Joondalup though ;o)
	Like to highlight that when the Perth-Joondalup link was opened, one catch phrase was "go by train, faster than car", as the train had 110Kmh speed, while vehicles on adjacent freeway had a 100Kmh limit. Architected by design to push use of public transport over private cars.
	that's an interesting way to pronounce Joondalup ahaha
	Move to Perth!! Good weather. Great beaches.
	living in Perth for the past 12 years after moving from Scotland I use TransPerth services regularly and find them very good, the rail to airport link will be great and is sorely needed, thankfully we have a strong economy and forward thinking State government now which is fulfilling its promises and getting bthe MetroNet projects done. I use the Joondalup line often and I found it interesting vtobhear a Canadian prouncuation, I prounounced it incorrectly vwhen I first arrived. Luke many place names here in Australia it has the double 'O' and 'Up' at the end. phonetically it is prounounced 'June''Da''Lup'. It is from the Oor-dal-kalla people that Joondalup derives its name. The Noongar word is Doondalup and it means 'the lake that glistens'.there is a large freshwater lake to the East of the Joondalup city centre. extending our from Perth there are several smaller civic centres which as you rightly point out are connected in several transport corridors including the rail links and Mitchell freeway (not named after me, but after James Mitchell, one of the first governors of Western Australia). these civic centres were created with local services, schools, shops, Police, etc. first then housing developments started to extend the city to fulfill demand, the process has worked well and was very forward thinking rather than what typically happens where urban housing sprawl is allowed to happen then amenities vandvtranspirt added as an afterthought. Perth us a great place to live and a beautiful city to visit with great weather, natural beauty and historic attractions dating back to its collinual penal colony roots! As mentioned it is a Resources city like Calgary in Canada and Aberdeen in Scotland with Oil & Gas and Mining organisations employing the majority of the population.
	YAY! A rail video of my home city!! We also have the Australind train that goes to Bunbury in the states southwest.
	Used to work for the Perth transit authority until last year on the armadale line upgrades and yes it's a great line however the state government's fixation on cars and roads make the trains expensive and uncompetitive due to efficient traffic flows.If they could undergo a culture shift and back trains and pedestrians over cars the train network would be more financially viable (currently we only recover 30% of our revenue) and get the upgrades to allow for more frequent and better quality train services
	That…. Is not how you pronounce Joondalup
	Not like good old convict labour of old, they built so much while modern Australians twiddle their thumbs.
	The extension of the Armadale line (to Byford) wasn’t mentioned.
	As a Perth/Joondalup citizen I was shocked to see my City on YouTube as the most isolated city, we are always forgotten about lol... And I forgive you for your pronunciation of Joondalup
	As a Perth resident I believe this was very accurate for residential rail today. Also well done on the images, they where all Perth based when intended and generally close to that condition. Debatable on what you meant by peak times as most lines at best are every 10 minutes but run very well to schedule. Your future thought would encounter many issues and would require taking over currently built and heavily used cargo rail lines and industrial area that service the seaport and connect to the east coast. The Southern area is far more complicated then the north
	I'm impressed he said cockburn right! Nice to see our little city being looked at for once.Those new C class trains have been rumoured to have operational speeds of 150km/hr with a max ~20km/hr higher
	Im sorry it's produced Junedelup is the easiest way to explain it
	Now that you mention it, I really should appreciate the rail network of my city.. I happen to live in an area without great rail access, but along with Transperth buses I can get anywhere. It's good to see that more is planned for the future too.Really well made video, and cool to see my city in the spotlight :)
	Lmao I live in Perth and you can literally see the bustand I wait at after school at 3:42.
	Liked the comment about floor carpet in the A and B class cars! I think that it lowers both internal and external track noise levels. It’s a shame that the new C class will have hard floors. I live 400 metres from the new High Wycombe terminal station (kudos for pronouncing that correctly) on the Airport line. Test runs are currently happening and safety evacuation exercises were scheduled for late May and in June, 2022, but these have been postponed until TBA Having only a few stations on the Joondalup and Mandurah lines was a deliberate decision to ensure that the train journeys would be faster than by car at that time, though crawling in traffic at 10kph while a train on the median passes you at 100+kph is a good incentive to switch Thanks for the great video!
	Considering our main clubs are in the CBD, the bare floors are kinda self explanatory when people are pissed out their gourds and have a 80 km journey home... Easy cleanup :D
	5:14 is exactly as intended because of Optus stadium, the big spectacle arena in Perth that handles 60,000 a week during afl season
	Whilst, Perth is one of the remotest cities in the world. It's nice to be noticed.
	But no train to the airport, and a taxi there will cost you around seventy five bucks. P-TOWN.
	Thankyou <3 Perth is an Amazing place, we'd welcome you with open arms.
	Yikes on the pronunciation of The Joondalup line.
	It's pronounced June - Da - lup
	Now looking back on it I sometimes take perth public transport for granted, it's a great and easy way to get around! Loved the video
	Good Video. My old home. Its pronounced JUNE DA LUP
	Had to laugh at how you prenounced Joondalup, is actually pronounce like June da lup
	Joondalup is pronounced Joon (like June) Da-LUP joondalup, your welcome.
	That was a superb overview of the Perth railway system. I really enjoyed watching it - though it’s a shame that the narrator continued to incorrectly pronounce Joondalup (should be joon-duh-luhp).
	You missed another perth rail project Byford rail extension Linking Armadale to Byford Good video though
	LOL thanks for talking about our little part of the world. I like how you say Joondalup, we call it Joon-dal-up (L is not as prominent).
	Joondalup..... pronounced Dune da lup. STILL waiting for a better system to Bunbury south of Mandurah.... no train at all for months. Bear in mind when it does run, it's only twice a day each way to Perth. Otherwise cdrive 2.5hrs to Perth. However, the current hit and miss train also takes 2.5h4s to get into Perth.
	the perth armadale line is also currently under being exstended to byford approx 10 km
	as a perth person... literally rail network here sucks its almost always late. sometimes even early so you end up missing it despite being their before the scheduled time...
	Perth is presently 2.5 million, and the State is just under 3 million. Perth and metropolitan area is larger than LA, but with much less density. Forecast to be 4 million by 2035.
	Sorry, the Ellenbrook line will have 5 stations, not 13. MorleyNorandaMalagaWhiteman ParkEllenbrookWhere did you get 13 from?Also, Joondalup is pronounce June-da-lup, not sure where the N is that your saying.
	It’s pronounced June-der-lup
	Pronounced - Joon - dalup. Don’t split the up combine it with the dal and say it quickly. Read - speak more bogan
	Also would be good to have express trains that run from the city to whitfords non stop as every second train in the afteroon rush only goes as far as whitfords. Would cut my trip to clarckson by 15 or so minutes.
	Ok I live in perth, and I have never ever heard anyone describe the rail "network" as amazing.Inadequate, unreliable, expensive, those are all terms I hear a lot, but not amazing.Now sydney has a great rail system. and its pronounced June-dah-lup. Not whatever you are saying
	the way he pronounces Joodalup...
	Each wagon cost an arm and a leg in rental. in the old days all belonged to the people..
	it's pretty awesome here and most people aren't even aware how beautiful it is. The only thing Perth transport lacks post-metronet, is interconnecting lines. I live up the end of Armadale line, to goto Cockburn by car takes ~20 minutes. To goto Cockburn via transport is 1h 10m, I can take the bus from Gosnells, or ride all the way into the City and out the Cock-burn line, it takes about the same time.
	So cool to see my city and its rail network on this channel! Thank you!
	Perthite here, fantastic video. I'm directly adjacent the new spur line to Perth AP, also being upgraded is a major road interchange and freeway expansion as mentioned (to Ellenbrook) the scale of the operation is impressive and confusing, be fantastic once it complete.
	Yeah we in perth are really proud of our public transport system unlike other cities we didnt wait until demand outstriped supplie.Perth i would say is up there as a prine example of a excellent public transport system
	Reece, as per my comment below, this is a terrific presentation. I hope you won't be too upset about the Joondalup thing. Good thing you dodn't talk about Albany (Al banny, not All banny!).
	I'm a Perth ex-pat who hasn't been there since 1990, so this video was very informative!
	Good video. Personally what I find most impressive about the Perth is how many of the stations collocate a bridge with a bus stop right over the train station, in addition to a car park, all in the middle of the main freeway (concentrating all of the freeway-train noise to a narrow strip instead of all over the place). A great advantage of building infrastructure before population expansion instead of the other way around, a luxury afforded to new cities in rich countries.
	Its just a slow, rough, narrow gaged railway. Boring.
	A very interesting presentation. The cruisy looking four northern railway stations came about as a result of previous premier Carmen Lawrence holding a competition for the four railway stations when the northern lines were being expanded and electrified. The final of the competition ended with four finalists that the judges struggled to select a winner. The story goes that Ms Lawrence then decided to build a station designed by each of the finalists! Just a comment on the commentary itself; whilst most of the places mentioned are pronounced correctly, Joondalup is pronounced Joon duh lupp, not Joon DAL upp. No empahasis on any syllable. Oh, and very well done with 'Cockburn' (pronounced Coe burn). A good presentation all round.
	Thanks for that.
	Just a minor point, Adelaide is much closer than Melbourne to Perth and shouldn't really be ignored........although it is tempting.....
	Joondalup , pronounced June-d-lup
	Greeting from Perth WA! And it's Joon-da-lup not Joondala Cheers...
	Very cool and interesting video. I live in Perth and I learnt a bit about the railway system that I didn’t even know about from this video.I just want to point out one thing though. The pronunciation of Joondalup. We say it like: Joon da lup.
	amazing ? its just 4 or 5 lines going out of the city ,dispersing crime /unemployed
	Just sucks when the thornlie line is shut all the time
	Haha love the video bro very well done as someone from Perth :). Though that Yanchep station has been spoke of for 25 years haha it's funny living in Yanchep over this time and seeing the plans come and go
	Randomly founds this. I’m from Perth, you’d be welcome here bro!
	I'm in Perth, and this was very well researched. It's a "past time" to complain about the public transport system but in reality it's pretty good, the trains are excellent and outside of peak times under utilised. The buses in particular will only get convenient if people use them but plenty of routes run most of the day nearly empty.
	Im going to go crazy with they way you say Joondalup line, Joon-Der-lup
	Our rail in Perth is amazing ,and don't tolerate graffiti,always so clean ,got lots of rail transit guards,and cameras everywhere that can talk to the baddies before they do anything wrong at the stations
	The highway median running is an interesting dilemma.It's obviously cheaper if you've built a wide enough reserve, but equally requires lots of expensive bridges for stations and bus transfer.And you're not going to get transit oriented development because people don't want to live in a highway corridor.And veering out of the corridor is obviously very expensive.
	Perth resident here. Interesting to see your take on our rail system however it still has a lot of issues. Our trains are fast but our stations are sparse and last mile public transit is an absolute nightmare in many parts of the city. Our city has a particularly low population density because most people live in large houses on large blocks of land and our urban planning has historically been centred around owning a car - very similar to American cities. The result is that unless you live close to a train station (most people don't), you will have to take a bus to your final destination and these buses are low in frequency (compared to many European cities), often out-of-sync with the train timetable and take a long time to reach their destination because of the distances they need to travel and the high frequency of stops needed to serve all of the areas on their routes. The urban sprawl also means that you may end up walking almost half a kilometre to get to the bus stop from your house. The result is that most people just chose to drive unless they are commuting to the central business district in peak hour, when there is nowhere to park. In peak hour, some people are able to make use of park 'n ride facilities but these aren't available at all stations (underground carparks might help solve this but they would cost the government a lot of money I don't think they are willing to spend). There are also many suburbs where a rail line or a station with park 'n ride facilities is not within a reasonable distance which means a slow, frequently-stopping peak hour direct bus into the CBD is the fastest means of public transport. If I could drive to work, it would take me 12 minutes however on public transport, it takes 45 minutes! Cycling is an option but the distance is such that I would have to shower and change clothes at work due to the sweat which ultimately adds another 15 minutes to the effective time before I'm at my desk. E-scooters are a way forward that not enough people are talking about. They have the potential to massively increase the accessibility radius of train stations, especially if appropriate infrastructure is built. Our trains are also wide enough to take plenty of folded e-scooters.
	Yay transperth
	Perth gets mentioned?? whaaaat?
	I live in Perth
	Thanks for your excellent video. As a Melbournian, I find it ironic that Perth's rail coverage hasn't got more coverage in Australian media. And it took a Canadian to do it!
	love the video, you pronounced all but Joondalup correctly haha, it's pronounced June-dalup haha...but all in all, neat little video about where I live, thanks
	just a FYI, Joondalup is pronounced June-Duh-Lup (say it fast)

Awesome video, mate! But how did you know to prounounce Cockburn as Coburn? And just fyi Joondalup is pronounced June-duh-lup. From a Perth local it cracked me up that you got Cockburn right but not Joondalup

Extensive The only thing extensive is the price of construction,the time of construction and the cost of that delay on motorists!

Interesting emphAsis on Joondalup there

The cost of the Perth airport line will just be a regular 2 zone fare, about $4.50. Compared to the Brisbane and Sydney airport lines that cost $18-20+

Brisbane has just over 2 million people as apposed to Perth - but has around 400kms of rail network. Please feature this system!

This is a great video of a city that I am lucky enough to live in. Perth’s rail network is clean, safe, efficient and incredibly good value since state government introduced the 2 zone system.

I have used the line quite a few times since coming to Perth, and I find them convenient and easy to use. nice and fast coming from the south and getting to the city without worrying about parking is suburb!

Good stuff mate

I moved here recently and from what I can tell they are planning long term.. so that current networks will last easily into next century and beyond. They rebuilt the entire road rail networks over the last 20 years or so for that reason.

I live up the end of Armadale line, to goto Cockburn by car takes ~20 minutes. To goto Cockburn via transport is 1h 10m, I can take the bus from Gosnells, or ride all the way into the City and out the Cock-burn line, it takes about the same time.

So cool to see my city and its rail network on this channel! Thank you!

Perthite here, fantastic video. I'm directly adjacent the new spur line to Perth AP, also being upgraded is a major road interchange and freeway expansion as mentioned (to Ellenbrook) the scale of the operation is impressive and confusing, be fantastic once it complete.

Yeah we in perth are really proud of our public transport system unlike other cities we didnt wait until demand outstriped supplie.Perth i would say is up there as a prine example of a excellent public transport system

Reece, as per my comment below, this is a terrific presentation. I hope you won't be too upset about the Joondalup thing. Good thing you dodn't talk about Albany (Al banny, not All banny!).

I'm a Perth ex-pat who hasn't been there since 1990, so this video was very informative!

Good video. Personally what I find most impressive about the Perth is how many of the stations collocate a bridge with a bus stop right over the train station, in addition to a car park, all in the middle of the main freeway (concentrating all of the freeway-train noise to a narrow strip instead of all over the place). A great advantage of building infrastructure before population expansion instead of the other way around, a luxury afforded to new cities in rich countries.

Its just a slow, rough, narrow gaged railway. Boring.

A very interesting presentation. The cruisy looking four northern railway stations came about as a result of previous premier Carmen Lawrence holding a competition for the four railway stations when the northern lines were being expanded and electrified. The final of the competition ended with four finalists that the judges struggled to select a winner. The story goes that Ms Lawrence then decided to build a station designed by each of the finalists! Just a comment on the commentary itself; whilst most of the places mentioned are pronounced correctly, Joondalup is pronounced Joon duh lupp, not Joon DAL upp. No empahasis on any syllable. Oh, and very well done with 'Cockburn' (pronounced Coe burn). A good presentation all round.

Thanks for that.

Just a minor point, Adelaide is much closer than Melbourne to Perth and shouldn't really be ignored........although it is tempting.....

Joondalup , pronounced June-d-lup

Greeting from Perth WA! And it's Joon-da-lup not Joondala Cheers...

Very cool and interesting video. I live in Perth and I learnt a bit about the railway system that I didn’t even know about from this video.I just want to point out one thing though. The pronunciation of Joondalup. We say it like: Joon da lup.

amazing ? its just 4 or 5 lines going out of the city ,dispersing crime /unemployed

Just sucks when the thornlie line is shut all the time

Haha love the video bro very well done as someone from Perth :). Though that Yanchep station has been spoke of for 25 years haha it's funny living in Yanchep over this time and seeing the plans come and go

Randomly founds this. I’m from Perth, you’d be welcome here bro!

I'm in Perth, and this was very well researched. It's a "past time" to complain about the public transport system but in reality it's pretty good, the trains are excellent and outside of peak times under utilised. The buses in particular will only get convenient if people use them but plenty of routes run most of the day nearly empty.

Im going to go crazy with they way you say Joondalup line, Joon-Der-lup

Our rail in Perth is amazing ,and don't tolerate graffiti,always so clean ,got lots of rail transit guards,and cameras everywhere that can talk to the baddies before they do anything wrong at the stations

The highway median running is an interesting dilemma.It's obviously cheaper if you've built a wide enough reserve, but equally requires lots of expensive bridges for stations and bus transfer.And you're not going to get transit oriented development because people don't want to live in a highway corridor.And veering out of the corridor is obviously very expensive.

Perth resident here. Interesting to see your take on our rail system however it still has a lot of issues. Our trains are fast but our stations are sparse and last mile public transit is an absolute nightmare in many parts of the city. Our city has a particularly low population density because most people live in large houses on large blocks of land and our urban planning has historically been centred around owning a car - very similar to American cities. The result is that unless you live close to a train station (most people don't), you will have to take a bus to your final destination and these buses are low in frequency (compared to many European cities), often out-of-sync with the train timetable and take a long time to reach their destination because of the distances they need to travel and the high frequency of stops needed to serve all of the areas on their routes. The urban sprawl also means that you may end up walking almost half a kilometre to get to the bus stop from your house. The result is that most people just chose to drive unless they are commuting to the central business district in peak hour, when there is nowhere to park. In peak hour, some people are able to make use of park 'n ride facilities but these aren't available at all stations (underground carparks might help solve this but they would cost the government a lot of money I don't think they are willing to spend). There are also many suburbs where a rail line or a station with park 'n ride facilities is not within a reasonable distance which means a slow, frequently-stopping peak hour direct bus into the CBD is the fastest means of public transport. If I could drive to work, it would take me 12 minutes however on public transport, it takes 45 minutes! Cycling is an option but the distance is such that I would have to shower and change clothes at work due to the sweat which ultimately adds another 15 minutes to the effective time before I'm at my desk. E-scooters are a way forward that not enough people are talking about. They have the potential to massively increase the accessibility radius of train stations, especially if appropriate infrastructure is built. Our trains are also wide enough to take plenty of folded e-scooters.

Yay transperth

Perth gets mentioned?? whaaaat?

I live in Perth

Thanks for your excellent video. As a Melbournian, I find it ironic that Perth's rail coverage hasn't got more coverage in Australian media. And it took a Canadian to do it!

love the video, you pronounced all but Joondalup correctly haha, it's pronounced June-dalup haha...but all in all, neat little video about where I live, thanks

just a FYI, Joondalup is pronounced June-Duh-Lup (say it fast)
