This week’s issue is written by Yan Zhuang, an Australian reporter in the Seoul bureau (who is very excited about the metro).
A key segment of Sydney’s new metro train line opened early on Monday with a level of fanfare usually associated with celebrity appearances or pop concerts.
The new section, which connects Sydenham, an inner-west neighborhood of Sydney, to Chatswood, in the north, runs under the city’s business district and crosses under the Harbor Bridge.
It is the second part of the metro project to open, after a northern section that started operating in 2019.
The news media covered the opening in breathless terms.
