The innovation loved by the environment

The capital of Western Australia, the fourth most populated city of Australia, Perth, whose name is a homage to the Scottish city with the same name, has a mild temperature, white fine-grained beaches, marvellous natural reserves, an Aboriginal community, modern skyscrapers, museums, tunnels and a bright cultural scenario. Its modern development is due to the abundant minerals. It has a little over 2 million inhabitants and living costs are much more economic compared to Sydney, making it one of the most popular cities, not just for tourists, but also for many people who decide to live there. It is comfortably served by an airport, the main one in Western Australia, which can be reached with the Airport Line (which was previously known by the name Forrestfield Airport Link), the underground railway line that connects Perth's eastern side to the existing suburban railway line and to the airport.

The very modern METRONET Forrestfield-Airport Link (its complete name) connects the eastern suburbs of the city to the airport and to the business district with three stations. The overall route measures 8.5 kilometres, and of these 8 are entirely underground. Its tunnels run up to a maximum depth of 26 metres, under the previous railway lines and also under a section of the riverbed of the Swan River, which during the past centuries served as one of the main transport routes.  A cutting-edge and fundamental infrastructure, which was completed in 2022 and that since then has ensured the transit of 20 thousand daily passengers and has reduced tyre transport benefiting the environment (minus 15 thousand daily vehicles). But also in terms of reduced time as from the 45 minutes by car passengers can now reach the destination in just 20 minutes.
