The increasing rate of private car ownership, the perception that trams contributed to traffic congestion and the general rundown conditions of the network due to the lack of funding after <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a> led to the progressive replacement of tram services with buses, with the final section of the tram network closing on 25 February 1961. </p><p>In the 1980s and 1990s, the inner city areas of <a href="/wiki/Darling_Harbour" title="Darling Harbour">Darling Harbour</a> and <a href="/wiki/Pyrmont,_New_South_Wales" title="Pyrmont, New South Wales">Pyrmont</a> were the subject of an urban renewal program.

With poor integration between the monorail and other transport modes and the increasing redevelopment of the Pyrmont peninsula – including the establishment of <a href="/wiki/The_Star,_Sydney" title="The Star, Sydney">Sydney's first legal casino</a> – it was decided to convert <a href="/wiki/Rozelle%E2%80%93Darling_Harbour_Goods_Line" title="Rozelle–Darling Harbour Goods Line">a disused section</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Metropolitan_Goods_railway_line" class="mw-redirect" title="Metropolitan Goods railway line">Metropolitan Goods railway line</a> into a light rail line. A section of track between Pyrmont and <a href="/wiki/Haymarket,_New_South_Wales" title="Haymarket, New South Wales">Haymarket</a> was upgraded and a new on-street section was built to link the line to <a href="/wiki/Central_railway_station,_Sydney" title="Central railway station, Sydney">Central railway station</a>. The line was set up as a <a href="/wiki/Public-private_partnership" class="mw-redirect" title="Public-private partnership">public-private partnership</a>.

Paper tickets were originally sold from ticket machines on stop platforms but were later issued by conductors on board. During the 2010s, this system gradually merged with the broader Sydney ticketing system, culminating in the introduction of Opal and the withdrawal of all other tickets. This process was completed on 1 August 2016.<sup id="cite_ref-91" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-91"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>84<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Potential_extensions">Potential extensions</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Light_rail_in_Sydney&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: Potential extensions"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Several transport corridors have significant potential to allow for the growth of the network beyond its current route structure. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Anzac_Parade">Anzac Parade</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Light_rail_in_Sydney&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: Anzac Parade"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:CBD_%26_South_East_Light_Rail_-_Update,_1_August_2016.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ed/CBD_%26_South_East_Light_Rail_-_Update%2C_1_August_2016.jpg/220px-CBD_%26_South_East_Light_Rail_-_Update%2C_1_August_2016.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="107" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ed/CBD_%26_South_East_Light_Rail_-_Update%2C_1_August_2016.jpg/330px-CBD_%26_South_East_Light_Rail_-_Update%2C_1_August_2016.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ed/CBD_%26_South_East_Light_Rail_-_Update%2C_1_August_2016.jpg/440px-CBD_%26_South_East_Light_Rail_-_Update%2C_1_August_2016.jpg 2x" data-file-width="825" data-file-height="400" /></a><figcaption>Light rail construction on Anzac Parade in 2016</figcaption></figure> <p>The New South Wales Government's 2012 policy document entitled <i>Sydney's Light Rail Future</i> proposed investigating an extension of the CBD and South East Light Rail along the southern <a href="/wiki/Anzac_Parade,_Sydney" title="Anzac Parade, Sydney">Anzac Parade</a> corridor.<sup id="cite_ref-TransportNSW13Dec12_92-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TransportNSW13Dec12-92"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>85<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>By 2014, an initial investigation had commenced.
