Canberra Metro
Established in 2016, Canberra Metro is responsible for the design, construction, operation, maintenance and equity investment of Canberra’s light rail network. Our commitment is to deliver a modern, reliable public transport system that connects communities and supports Canberra’s long‑term growth.At its core, Canberra Metro is driven by three priorities: moving people, enriching lives and enabling sustainable growth.
Canberra Metro is proud to have successfully designed, built, financed, operated and maintained Stage 1 of Canberra’s light rail network on behalf of the ACT Government.
Since commencement of operations, Stage 1 has delivered a safe, reliable and high‑performing service, achieving strong customer satisfaction and helping reshape how Canberra moves.
Building on this success, Canberra Metro is now delivering Stage 2A, extending the light rail network and strengthening connections across the city. As the delivery partner for this city‑shaping infrastructure, we remain committed to setting benchmarks for safety, reliability, accessibility and customer experience through to 2038.
By placing customers and community at the heart of our operations, we support greater public transport adoption, enhance connectivity, and contribute to sustainable economic development and urban renewal.
Backed by a consortium of leading national and international partners, Canberra Metro is helping shape the next phase of light rail in the nation’s capital and supporting Canberra’s growth for decades to come.
