Perth—your time has come. Metronet is the quiet revolution changing how we get around; shaving minutes off commutes, and bringing the best that the city has to offer within reach.
New lines are pulling Ellenbrook, Yanchep and Byford onto map, eliminating the trusty old “it's too far” excuse, for good. Stations aren’t just brick and mortar; they’ll be set up as mini-precincts, introducing brand new dining, shopping and neighbourhood hot-spots.
But electrified trains and slick new stations are only part of the plan—better cycling links will offer you more ways to move your body, making it easier to ditch the car and bump up the daily cardio. We're seeing many a last-minute Friday night in Northbridge, festival set in Fremantle or a pop-up in the Hills in your future.
For Perth’s culture, this is the kind of change we need. Venues get bigger crowds, festivals pull more locals, and neighbourhood economies stay alive after dark. The small-bar scene that’s been punching above its weight gets a boost when audiences can flow in from every direction. The breakdown? Nights that stretch longer, with less stress about the journey home—so there'll be no more ghosting plans in 2025.
Keep an eye on their website for all new updates and transport announcements.
