On Saturday 14 December, Sydney’s new light rail will start running passenger services on the L2 Randwick line, from Circular Quay to Randwick.

The new light rail will run fare free on the first weekend with the first services starting around 11am Saturday 14 morning. The fare free weekend (Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 December) only applies to the L2 Randwick line, not the existing L1 Inner West line or other public transport services.

      We can ride the light rail from town hall to the pub

        Unfortunately he said paying passengers, so the beer won’t be free that weekend :(

  • vikvance on 05/12/2019 - 08:49

    Not really much of a deal, given that it's a weekend.

      As opposed to… walking?

        Walking is fine in the city if it weren't for all this bushfire smoke.

        • Clear on 05/12/2019 - 11:36

          Or for someone who isn't a local (like me) having another form of public transport is amazing.

    well if the metro is anything to go by…..
    then it will be super packed with no room to breath
    and it will break down (or even run someone over)

    • panacheski on 05/12/2019 - 09:17

      No jam in your donut this morning :(

      I am interested to see how this super long tram will run. I suspect, like you, that it will be a shitfest. It is said that the tram wi be at capacity from day 1.

      It shouldve been heavy rail to randwick, not a tram.

        But its heavy and its on a rail. What more could you want from us? - NSW Govt.

        Also us: Have a look at that big patch of dirt next to the light rail corridor.

      Thanks! Was hoping to get off at Kingsford for some Indo food but nope.

      • TimApple on 05/12/2019 - 11:15

        I also love Indo foods, might get off at UNSW and walk a little bit.

          UNSW High Street? It'll be a 15-20 min walk won't it?

      • mubd1234 on 05/12/2019 - 14:48

        Get off at Randwick Junction and walk to Java on Avoca Street. The same family has run the joint for 30+ years, and the food is excellent.

        • dajackal on 05/12/2019 - 16:25

          Great suggestion. Thank you! How does the food compare to say Ayam 99?

        Kingsford is changed now, it's mainly full of malatang stores and AU GO daigo stores

  • xiaozaocha on 05/12/2019 - 10:23

    great news!

    One weekend? You'd think they should give at least a month for free, to get people using it daily and to make up for all the disruptions.

    • mrshorty on 05/12/2019 - 13:17

      No this is Sydney. You may be getting mixed up with any other reasonable metro transport provider which reimburses free travel whenever there services goes down

      • ATangk on 05/12/2019 - 13:31

        How can you expect us NOT to charge you the default full fee when OUR system goes down and you cant tap off?

  • optusprime on 05/12/2019 - 10:28

    why you down vote a realistic depiction of what will happen on free weekend is beyond me

    well if the metro is anything to go by……free weekend launch will mean:
    then it will be super packed with no room to breath
    and it will break down (or even run someone over)

    • optusprime on 05/12/2019 - 11:22

    Cheers. I have a couch and refrigerator I need to relocate from Randwick to The Rocks that weekend so the timing is perfect. Buses are completely unfit for this purpose.

  • supert1ght on 05/12/2019 - 12:06

    Wow Sydney finally have a couple Trams like South Australia has since the 1900s

  • pull the lever on 05/12/2019 - 15:56

    Runs on eneloop

  • shortgum on 06/12/2019 - 01:16

    Would the NSW government consider FREE TRAM zone like in Mel and Adel? Count this free only on Saturday 14/12 as 15/12 Sunday is fixed price travel anyway and it would be crowded as hell for sure.

    • Turd on 13/12/2019 - 13:07

      No

  • scotty on 14/12/2019 - 17:32

    Met any ozbargainers on the light rail today?

    • mrshorty on 18/12/2019 - 17:34

      Missed the chance to do an ozb meet up on the free light rail
