PR072/19 28 November 2019 NRT Consortium and MTR Awarded PR072/19 28 November 2019 NRT Consortium and MTR Awarded Sydney Metro Contract MTR Corporation, as a shareholder and project leader in the Northwest Rapid Transit Consortium (NRT), has reached contractual close for the extension to the existing NRT Public Private Partnership (PPP) contract on Sydney Metro. The contract, which was awarded in 2014 by the New South Wales Government, has been extended to deliver a seamless customer experience on the new metro, with NRT to operate and maintain the full metro line from Tallawong to Bankstown - in total 66 kilometres of rail and 31 metro stations by 2024. As part of the Sydney Metro in Australia, the Metro North West Line, which commenced passenger service on 26 May 2019, will be extended by 30 km to the City and Southwest (SMCSW). The NRT PPP contract package includes A$1.7 billion for new metro trains and core rail systems as well as a A$2 billion operations and maintenance component for NRT to operate the combined Metro North West and City and Southwest lines until 2034. MTR will invest in the project and take the lead in the project works and railway operations of both the City and Southwest and the Metro North West Line as a combined single line from 2024. The Corporation has already participated and invested in the project delivery phase of the Metro North West Line. MTR, together with other members of the NRT consortium, is now successfully operating the 36-km Metro North West Line, which is Australia’s most technologically advanced fully automated railway service, through its majority-owned subsidiary Metro Trains Sydney. The Metro North West Line has achieved a 95% customer satisfaction score in its initial period of operation and has carried more than 11 million passenger journeys in its first five months of operations. “Sydney Metro is transforming travel in one of the world’s great cities with its fully automated trains and best-in-class railway technology setting new standards in Australia for safety, reliability and customer service. MTR is proud and honoured to have the opportunity to further participate in this project and extend the world-class Sydney Metro service from the Northwest into the CBD via the new rail tunnels beneath Sydney Harbour and then beyond to Bankstown in the Southwest,” said Dr Jacob Kam, Chief Executive Officer of MTR Corporation. - End - About MTR Corporation Every day, MTR connects people and communities.

NUMBER: Working Paper ITLS-WP-19-05 TITLE: Collaboration as a service (CaaS) to fully integrate public transportation – lessons from long distance travel to reimagine Mobility as a Service Integrated mobility aims to improve multimodal integration to ABSTRACT: make public transport an attractive alternative to private transport. This paper critically reviews extant literature and current public transport governance frameworks of both macro and micro transport operators. Our aim is to extent the concept of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), a proposed coordination mechanism for public transport that in our view is yet to prove its commercial viability and general acceptance. Drawing from the airline experience, we propose that smart ticketing systems, providing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) can be extended with governance and operational processes that enhance their ability to facilitate Collaboration-as-a-Service (CaaS) to offer a reimagined MaaS 2.0 = CaaS + SaaS. Rather than using the traditional MaaS broker, CaaS incorporates operators more fully and utilises their commercial self-interest to deliver commercially viable and attractive integrated public transport solutions to consumers. This would also facilitate more collaboration of private sector operators into public transport with potentially new opportunities for taxi/rideshare/bikeshare operators and cross geographical transport providers (i.e.
