These are all engineering and technical standards for infrastructure. Network service standards (eg frequencies & operating hours) are less of a thing. You might see them in franchise agreements for rail & specifications for certain bus routes but their profile is much less.

Some countries integrate property development with new stations. We find it difficult to tenant the smallest spaces, years after a station's opening.

Perth has a similar role, being associated with mining, sprawl, wealth, US-level car ownership & the most postwar growth of any Aust city. First to remove trams & closest to shutting its trains. Yet it revived rail, reformed buses & beats Brisbane & most of NA in per capita use.

@Rosspipesy Number of pedestrian crossings in this stretch of road = 0. A few refuges but they don't help the elderly much as they're too slow to cross. Only other crossing is before and after school times. Pathetic really. But hey, car drivers can't be held up.

On 1 May the Vic Parliament released its road safety inquiry with a long list of recommendations. parliament.vic.gov.au/498c97/content… Though not transformative, if implemented these would advance safer sustainable transport. Some highlights: 1/n

Interesting thread on successful PT network topology. While the stations it added were good, Melb went backwards when it ran everything via the (midday weekday reversing!) City Loop but is gradually undoing these mistakes. 1. Cross-city group. 2. Metro Tunnel. Hopefully 3. CLR.

Poll on what constitutes frequent transport. Depends on the length of trip but 10 min is so far the clear leader. Melbourne currently has no individual route or line that runs every 10 min or better day and night.

If you want to get a train from Mernda to Epping you're in luck. Right now there's almost Frankston line standard 12 minute frequencies running. These feed replacement buses also running every 12 min.

Treasurer Tim Pallas gives the Parliament “a clear and emphatic answer” on no cuts to services in next week’s budget. “Normally I’d hide behind the ‘wait till the budget’..” #springst
