Not many urban planners would have predicted that Australia’s largest public transportation project would become well-known on social media.
Since it opened in late August, the A$21.6 billion ($15 billion) Sydney Metro line along a major north-south route has been featured in hundreds of images and movies on Instagram and TikTok.
Young people waving Sydney Metro placards on the train station platform dance and celebrate in a TikTok video that has received over 600,000 views.
Part of the excitement stems from how much more contemporary the new line feels than the ancient network that tens of thousands of commuters pass through every day, with its driverless trains and airy, light stations.
