"what's the traffic like in Sydney?"
If someone asks you this question, I believe there must be a little bit of clutter in your heart.
Because when you say it's not as domestic, many people don't understand.
- "there is no domestic blockage!"
- "you will be satisfied!"
- "but your air is good!" (well, the air is better than everything)
Hong Kong really, the transportation of Australia's largest city really can not be judged by "developed" at all.
I can only say. Well, be sloppy. (the key is it's expensive!)
So which city represents the highest level of Australia's transport network?
The answer is revealed-
Brisbane is the real king among Australia's biggest cities, according to a study.
Sydney came in second, with Canberra, Melbourne and Perth in the bottom three.
The 2017 Sustainable cities liquidity Index (2017 Sustainable Cities Mobility Index), led by Arcadis, a design consultancy, is ranked on the list of 100 cities from around the world.
At the top of the list is the Chinese city of Hong Kong, which has a very extensive rail network and a high proportion of residents using public transport.
It was followed by Zurich, Paris, Seoul and Prague.
Among them, Brisbane ranked 48th in "Australia first"
Sydney was three places behind, ranking 51st, Canberra 53rd, Melbourne 55th, Perth 87th.
And in addition to Hong Kong, which comes first, five cities from mainland China are also ahead of Sydney, including:
- Beijing, 16
- Shenzhen, 19
- Shanghai, 27
- Guangzhou, 33
- Chengdu, 50th
It's really hard to feel the convenience of transportation on the mainland of the motherland.
Sydney did not even rank in the top 50 because Sydney's "knowledge-intensive work" was concentrated in CBD, but Sydney's CBD itself was a little far from Sydney's geographic center, the report said.
"Sydney is a truly international city in many ways, but it is still pursuing more complete and sustainable modes of transportation," said Stephen Taylor, an executive at Arcadis.
In fact, there are many ways to improve Sydney's rankings, such as building light rail and railways. However, these assumptions have not yet been completed, so they are also reflected in this ranking. "
New state goverment recently released two long-term strategic plans to transform Sydney into three cities by 2056: eastern, central and western.
The main goal is to allow 2/3 of meticulous people to end up and down to work, home and other services in less than 30 minutes.
Another 40-year transport plan was unveiled last week when it proposed a possible rail transit project, such as the construction of a train line between Parramatta and Kogarah.
The train line between Rouse Hill and Chatswood in Sydney's northwest will open in 2019, the first step in a A $20 billion train route to CBD and to Sydenham and Bankstown.
Another A $2.1 billion line from Circular Quay to Randwick and Kensington will also open in 2019.
