SLIP INTO SOMETHING MORE COMFORTABLE WITH MISS KITTY

Metro Light Rail recently launched a new advertising campaign across the inner western suburbs to promote its light rail service, on the back of results of several customer surveys which revealed that current patrons, overall, scored Light Rail service consistently close to excellent.

Metro Light Rail briefed Transmarketing to develop a campaign that would position light rail as deluxe commuter transport offering personal service - now unheard of on public transport. The objective of the campaign is to increase top-of-mind awareness of the value, reliability and efficiency of light rail.

The messages developed reinforce Metro Light Rail's commitment to a travel experience that is pleasant, uncrowded, convenient, clean and good for the environment.

To spearhead the ad campaign, Miss Kitty was created. Representing a 1960's air hostess who embodies personal service Miss Kitty is a personality which exemplifies old fashion service with a funky retro twist.

The ad campaign commenced beginning of November. It will be primarily aimed at the Inner Western Suburbs via outdoor advertising at major train stations, billboards, print ads in local newspapers as well as Venuads and avant postcards. Following the advertising campaign, direct mailing campaign for all homes in the inner western suburbs will commence including Miss Kitty magnets.

“Return trams to the City” printed boldly across the side of a tram launched today, states the opinion of thousands of Sydneysiders who want to see a light rail service from Central Station to Circular Quay.

With close to 5000 petition signatures from Sydneysiders and a mass of support from prominent members of the community, including the Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore  - it is now just a matter of NSW State Government making a decision.

The proposal to build a light rail network to service the CBD, which features a loop from Central Station to Circular Quay, along either George Street or Castlereagh Street , was submitted to the State Government by Metro Transport Sydney in May.

Demand for travel into the CBD has already reached chaotic proportions. Existing bus and rail cannot cope, with gridlock, overcrowding and service breakdowns causing disruption almost daily.

The fear of many is that Sydney will become an unliveable city as the population increases.

Metro Transport CEO, Kevin Warrell said, “Sydneysiders understand a light rail network in the city is more than just a nice idea. Trams would provide a fast, reliable, clean, most importantly green, mode of transport for commuters, residents and visitors.

“If the State Government accept the proposal, the tram promises to reduce traffic chaos and pollution in the CBD.” he said

“If we get approval from the State Government to go ahead in the next few months, we could see a tram to Circular Quay as early as 2007,” said Mr Warrell.

16/08/04

A tram service from Sydney 's Central Station to Circular Quay will mean an easier commute for many of the Illawarra residents who travel to Sydney 's CBD to work on a daily basis.

The proposed CBD tram service, which is currently under consideration by the State Government, will shuttle approximately 40,000 people per day, including commuters from the Central Coast , Newcastle , Blue Mountains and the Illawarra, from Central Station to Circular Quay via George Street or Castlereagh Street.

The CBD tram would feature 13 state-of-the-art trams each capable of carrying 200 passengers that would depart Central in 2.5 minute intervals at peak hour.

Mr Kevin Warrell , CEO, Metro Transport Sydney said “Introducing the tram back to Sydney 's CBD is particularly relevant for Illawarra commuters.”

“Most Illawarra trains terminate at Central Station, so those who work in the CBD need to change trains from the intercity platforms to the suburban platforms, having to take a number of flights of stairs to continue their journey,” he said.

“As well as being inconvenient, this could potentially add to what is already a reasonable commuting time,” said Mr Warrell.

“The CBD trams depart from Central Station adjacent to where the Illawarra trains arrive.

“This would mean a short 10 metre walk across the concourse from the intercity train platforms to the tram platform where commuters will be met by an environmentally friendly and clean, uncrowded high capacity transport service which will easy deliver them to one of 10 above ground stops in the City,” he said.

“Trams would run from 6.00am to midnight and depart every 2.5 minutes in peak hours, this means that there will always be a tram waiting to shuttle Illawarra commuters through the City when they arrive,” said Mr Warrell.

The proposed tram service would have com bin ed tickets with trains and buses providing an easy, seamless transition from trains to trams for Illawarra commuters.

The existing tram service currently departs from the upper colonnade at Central Station and travels to Lilyfield in Sydney's inner west via Chinatown, Darling Harbour, Star City and Sydney's Fish Market.

“We hope to see the CBD tram in 2007 and we believe that it is the only suitable mode of transport to mange the busy commuter peaks. We hope it will also make the lengthy commute from the Illawarra a little more manageable,” said Mr Warrell.

TRAMS THROUGH LEICHHARDT TO THE CITY

Metro Transport Sydney (MTS) has proposed a suitable extension route for the light rail system beyond Lilyfield to further service the inner west and reduce traffic and pollution on Parramatta Road .

The proposed route is a loop through the inner west, taking in Norton Street and Parramatta Road providing light rail connections within the area, as well as to and from the CBD.

From Lilyfield light rail station the route would run under the City West Link into the currently vacant Balmain Road site. It would then run west into William Street , turn left into Norton Street and continue to Parramatta Road . From there trams would travel down Parramatta Road towards the city where they would meet the proposed CBD tram network at Central.

The CBD tram proposal, which MTS submitted to the State Government in May, includes a light rail loop from Central Station to Circular Quay, along either George Street or Castlereagh Street . This CBD loop could form the central hub of an extensive inner city light rail network, which would revolutionise Sydney 's inner city public transport. The inner west routes would be a key part of this network.

Sandra Nori, State Member for Port Jackson, has been a long standing supporter of Light Rail. She has supported the CBD proposal's aim to revitalise public transport and access to Sydney 's City.

"I've been pursuing this issue for a long time because I think it's important for residents and tourists to have environmentally sustainable, safe and accessible transport,” said the Ms Nori.

The CBD extension of the light rail, which is currently under consideration by the State Government, would mean a reduction of traffic, particularly bus traffic , in the city of Sydney.

Mr Paul Espie , Chairman, Metro Transport Sydney explained, “The suggested Parramatta Road light rail route would connect with the CBD loop, which would provide high capacity, convenient transport from the inner west through to Circular Quay, without the current traffic congestion and pollution.

“Building the light rail in Norton Street would help to connect this vibrant commercial hub into the rest of inner Sydney , and make travel within the inner west much easier. Light rail is common in Europe and very successful - this proposal is entirely in keeping with maintaining the unique character of ‘Little Italy' “

“Experience in Europe and North America shows that introducing a light rail system can rejuvenate suburbs, increase land values and increase retail business. Light Rail would form a key part of the Government's proposals for revitalising the suburbs along Parramatta Road,” he said.

HAVE A METRO SEXUAL EXPERIENCE WITH METRO MONORAIL SPEED DATING

Spring is on its way and Sydney’s Monorail is doing its bit for love matching with a “date-fest”, two months of special high-flying speed dating on the Monorail.

With sessions run most Saturday evenings in September and October, fun loving and adventurous singles will speed through the dating process, spending just the short time between Monorail stations with a prospective suitor.

It works like this, after some pre-dating refreshments the “love train” with 10 male and 10 female daters will depart the Darling Park Monorail Station at Darling Harbour.  In each carriage will be two couples, taking the chance to get to know each other until the Monorail stops at the next station.  Here they will alight, change carriages and meet another ‘date’.

Each person has only five minute to determine if they are compatible, before they reach the next stop and partner change - it’s musical chairs dating without the music!

The Monorail will loop around the city four times an hour, taking in some of Sydney’s best views… a truly romantic outlook for a first date. However, with a station stop every five minutes potential love matches won’t have a lot of time to enjoy the scenery, if they want to get to know each other.

At the end of the hour and ten dates, participants make a note of the people that they would like to see again on their private match card, and if that consent is mutual their details are exchanged the next day via email.

Speed Dating, introduced into to Australia by Blink Dating, was first developed by an American rabbi in 1998 as a way of helping young Jewish men and women meet spouses of their faith. It soon caught on around the world, with Australia being no exception and singles taking to the concept in their droves. Blink Dating now hosts regular events in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane

Speed Dating on the Monorail costs $60 per person including 2 complimentary drinks and nibbles.

MONORAIL MANOUVERS MONKS TO POWERHOUSE PERFORMANCES

Metro Monorail will be hosting the visiting Tibetan Monks as they commute to and from the Powerhouse every day during July.

The Gyuto Monks are recognized within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition as masters of the tantric arts.

One of just a few inner city monorails in the world, Metro Monorail will take the Monks whizzing over the busy streets and through Sydney’s most dynamic and fun precincts delivering them directly outside the Museum at the Powerhouse stop.

Each day the Monks will travel by Monorail from their accommodation to the Powerhouse Museum for their performances and exhibitions.

The performances at the Powerhouse Museum offer visitors the chance to witness the beauty of Tibetan culture with the famous Gyuto Monks as they perform ancient Buddhist Rituals.

MONORAIL NAMED "HOT"

Sydney Shocked as Monorail is named “Hot” by Australia’s leading style gurus.

Still reeling from a mention on Rove Live last night, Sydney’s Metro Monorail has now been named “Hot” by leading doyens of style TRIPLE J’s Adam Spencer and Will Anderson.

“I am absolutely stoked” said the 16 year old Monorail.  “I have copped a lot of criticism since I began. I have always felt very daggy but now I’m “hot” and I couldn’t be happier”, said the Monorail

The retro movement is all about bringing back the 80’s and Sydney’s Monorail has to be the epitome of all that is retro “hot”.  Forget bubble skirts, fingerless gloves and mesh shirts – Metro Monorail is the ultimate retro mode of transport.

Built in 1988, Sydney Metro Monorail was never everyone’s favourite icon but now being “hot”, retro and well connected to all the new hot spots like Cockle Bay and King Street Wharf, Metro Monorail is coming into its own.

RETURNING TRAMS TO CENTRAL SYDNEY

Metro Transport submits Light Rail CBD extension plan.

Today Metro Transport Sydney submitted its proposal to extend the current light rail network from Central Station to Circular Quay to the Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources (DIPNR).

Following extensive feasibility studies and consultation with stakeholders, Metro Transport Sydney has determined the two most suitable options for the light rail network extension as George Street and Castlereagh Street, with Metro Transport Sydney preferring the George Street route.

Giving commuters a clean, green and efficient way to traverse the city, trams provide a solution to the current problems of traffic congestion and pollution.

Featuring 13 state-of-the-art trams capable of carrying 200 passengers each, running from 6.00am until midnight every day and every 2.5 minutes in peak hours, the proposal would see a new high quality interchange between buses and trams at Central Station as well as joint ticketing with buses and trains for a seamless interchange.

Costing approximately $180 million, financed with a combination of private and public investment involving 18 months of staged construction, it is considered that the best time to build the extension would be in the immediate period after the opening of the Cross City Tunnel, as the respite from traffic across the city would mean minimal inconvenience.  

According to Metro Transport CEO Kevin Warrell “demand for travel into the CBD has reached a point where car traffic is chaotic and existing bus and rail modes cannot cope, with gridlock, overcrowding and service breakdowns causing disruption.”

“Experience from Europe and North America suggests that introducing a CBD light rail system will not only increase land values but would also increase retail business and revitalise the city,” he said.  

The Metro Light Rail would provide a fast, reliable and clean mode of transport for commuters, residents and visitors, and if the proposal is accepted, some bus routes into the city would be modified, reducing congestion in the CBD.

“We expect that catching a tram through the CBD to Circular Quay and back will be a very popular way to travel.  It is an easy and pleasant way to get through the city and customer approval rates for the current Light Rail system are substantial higher than other modes.  We estimate about 40,000 people will use the tram every day,” said Mr Warrell.

Metro Transport Sydney’s proposal would also mean significant cost savings for the State Government on rail and bus networks, as well as providing the infrastructure to further extend the service to the east, west and south, ultimately creating a superb inner city transport network.

“We see the extension of the current light rail service from Central to the Circular Quay as the beginning of a comprehensive inner city light rail system which could ultimately service Bondi, Uni of NSW and Green Square as well as Parramatta Road,” said Mr Warrell.

The Metro Light Rail currently carries four million passengers a year along the existing seven kilometre route from Central Station to Lilyfield. Metro Transport has successfully operated the system since 31 August 1997 managing the construction of the Lilyfield extension in the year 2000.
