The Sydney Light Rail is a 25-kilometre dual track network comprising two CBD and South-East light rail lines (L2 and L3) and the Inner-West light rail line (L1), delivered as a Public Private Partnership (PPP). Now operational, Sydney Light Rail is operated by Transdev Australasia, maintained by Alstom, both coordinated by ALTRAC Light Rail. The L2 and L3 began operations in December 2019 and April 2020 respectively, with the PPP term until March 2036.
The Judging Panel praised the contribution that the successful operation and maintenance of the services has had on the transformation of how people move around Sydney – both in how it connects with other public transport modes and operates in pedestrianised CBD spaces. The Panel praised its consistent service operations, with between 97.8-99.3 per cent of light rail services across all lines operating on time as of January 2024.
