| How Many Metro Stations Are There In Sydney |
Buckle Up, We're Going Underground (Unless You're on the Parramatta Line)
Fun Fact: Did you know Sydney's metro system is actually bigger than a large sausage roll? (Okay, maybe that wasn't a fact, but it definitely feels bigger when you're running late.)
QuickTip: Repetition reinforces learning.
As of today, June 20, 2024, there are 13 glorious Sydney Metro stations up and running. That's right, 13! Not 12, not 14, but the perfect in-between number that makes you wonder if they stopped because they got tired of digging, or because they found a secret underground Krispy Kreme (one can dream).
But Wait, There's More! (Because Sydney Likes Things Big)
Now, 13 stations might sound like a lot, especially if you mostly walk to the shops. But fear not, fellow Sydneysiders! The future is bright (and full of metro trains). The construction crew is currently on a mission that would make even Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson proud. They're aiming to build a whopping 46 stations in total! That's like, a whole new underground city waiting to be explored (without the creepy clowns, hopefully).
Tip: Rest your eyes, then continue.
So, the answer to your burning question is 13 for now, but 46 in the glorious future!
