Introduction
Sydney Metro is the largest public transport project in Australia. The new standalone
railway project will provide 31 metro stations as well as over 65 kilometers of new infrastructure
for the metro, revolutionizing the way Australia's largest city travels. The Sydney Metro project's
goal is to develop a strategy, which will provide the system for ensuring that neighborhoods have
access to the jobs, colleges, parks, civic infrastructure, public transport and resources
for meeting their needs and foster growth in the community (Gharehbaghi and Sagoo 2016). The
aims of this initiative are to provide organized housing and the infrastructure, create local jobs,
and develop recreational facilities and increase mobility and connections to transportation. This
report aims to discuss the major issues with the Sydney Metro and the control system. This
report also analyses the cost, project execution, relationship and evaluate the outcomes for the
success.
Major Issus
There were multiple major issues behind the failure of the Sydney Metro project such as:
Design Problem
The planning process for the Sydney Metro system is very complicated. This is because
of the large quantity of input data needed coming from many realms (Och et al. 2017). In fact,
the tremendous investment required makes the design process of the metro difficult and needs
certain trade-offs to meet those demands.
Mechanical Problem
