What is public transport like in Parramatta?
Parramatta offers a variety of transport options, including an extensive road network and active transport alternatives, making it well-connected for commuters. The city is committed to increasing public transport usage and has several ongoing projects to support this, such as the new light rail which is set to open in 2024 and the ongoing construction of the Metro West.
The ABS Census figures from 2016 indicate that around 50,000 workers commute to Parramatta daily, with just under half of them (49%) traveling by car. Public transport was the next most popular option, used by 37% of commuters, while only 4% used active transport.
Recognising the need for more sustainable and space-efficient modes of transport, the City of Parramatta has produced an Integrated Transport Plan as part of the Parramatta CBD Planning Proposal.
