Home-grown transport operator ComfortDelGro will be bidding to operate and maintain the metro lines in Melbourne from 2027, when the contract of current operator Metro Trains Melbourne (MTM) expires.

Announcing this on LinkedIn on May 26, ComfortDelGro said it will be part of a consortium that includes Australian rail manufacturer UGL, Japan's East Japan Railway and Japanese investment conglomerate Marubeni Corp.

While the tender for the operation and maintenance of the Melbourne metro system has not been called, this consortium was formed ahead of time to prepare for the bidding.

Melbourne's metro network spans 405km and comprises 17 train lines and 222 stations, making it Australia's largest suburban rail system, ComfortDelGro noted.

The company said on LinkedIn that it would bring global expertise, innovation, exceptional service and operational excellence through this partnership.
