Privileged Dandenong corridor passenger here: how good is it not running for a train that’s arriving in AM peak bc you know there will be another train in a few minutes 😍 Imagine a world where that was the case at any time, on any line 🤤 #MoreTrainsPlease #MoreServicesPlease
Amazing. Provide a high frequency service and commuters will flock to it. Lessons for Melbourne... Sydney's metro trains running every five minutes msn.com/en-au/news/aus…
Perhaps more frequent public transport services might help...
Arrived at the Bus stop at 11:59 It’s now 12:12 and neither of these Buses arrived Frequency on a timetable means nothing unless the Buses actually turn up We still need to #Fix800Bus

More than a third of Melburnians have never caught a bus, Infrastructure Victoria wants the network overhauled abc.net.au/news/2023-12-0…
'Infrastructure Victoria’s research report into Melbourne’s bus network has found a fast, fair and better-connected bus network is needed for the city,' We couldn't agree more! You can find IV's report here: infrastructurevictoria.com.au/wp-content/upl…
BikeSpot allows you to say where you feel safe or unsafe riding your bike. The BikeSpot map will create a detailed picture of where people love to ride, and where people feel unsafe. BikeSpot is open until January 2024 - go to bikespot.org and add your spot to the map.
This is a very good explanation of the need for the Suburban Rail Loop project. Follow the thread:
