Rail Systems Australia was established in Perth in 2017 and currently employs 130 people across its locations in Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne.

Through this agreement, Systra aims to continue its work on integrating rail links across the region. Rail use is efficient in terms of space, according to Australia’s Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics, “A single rail line operating at peak efficiency can move as many people as a ten-lane freeway”.
