Doc Frank chats with Gary McGregor from Sydney in Australia, a seasoned transport strategist who was involved in developing key planning documents shaping the long-term rail strategy for Sydney. This talk has been split into three parts to get shorter episodes without losing the depth of longer conversations.

In this first part, expect to learn the importance of a whole-network view for any new investment, how a great strategy can lead to complacency down the line, what led to the creation of an additional railway mode in Sydney, what informed the plan to convert of one of the oldest lines in Sydney to a driverless metro service, and much more.
