Melbourne's buses - poor frequency in some areas, non-existent in others. (And it's much the same in regional Victoria) abc.net.au/news/2024-05-0…
If you want proof that two City Loop tunnels reversing direction is confusing, here it is: the government's response is wrong. It's the Burnley and Northern Loop tunnels that swap at lunchtime weekdays. The Caulfield Loop runs anti-clockwise at all times. theage.com.au/national/victo…

🎂🚉 Happy 19th birthday to Marshall station, opened 26th April 2005. It's good to see the second platform nearing completion - this will allow more frequent train services, which will be very welcome. (📷 2005: Marcus Wong/Wikipedia)
New tram timetables start tomorrow on routes 19, 30, 57, 59 and 82, adding services, cutting waiting times and reducing crowding. 👍 Details: ptv.vic.gov.au/footer/about-p…
This is a reminder of the serious consequences when motorists illegally overtake trams at stops. More needs to be done to protect passengers: signage, CCTV, education and enforcement of the laws, accessible platform stops to prevent vehicles speeding past. abc.net.au/news/2024-04-2…
🚉🎂Happy 12th birthday to South Morang station, opened 22nd April 2012 - the terminus of the line until extended in 2018. This line runs only every 20-40 minutes outside peak - more train services and connecting bus services are needed to make it competitive with car travel.
It’s great that there’s investment in growing the V/Line fleet, but after 20 years of making VLocities, the government should be considering a new design.
Decades spent making it easier to drive and hard to get around without a car has backfired, making it worse for everyone.
The main barrier to more people catching public transport is the service quality, not the fares. PT needs to be affordable, but it also has to be more convenient: frequent, reliable, fast, and well connected. Our contribution on ABC radio tonight: abc.net.au/listen/program…

More accurate real-time information is very useful. Even better is a public transport service that is reliable and frequent enough that you never have to wait long at the stop. Often overcrowded trams every 20-30 minutes in the evenings don't cut it. theage.com.au/politics/victo…

Call to heritage list PT timetables "By granting heritage protection to public transport timetables, the traditional experience of a long wait for a train after dark, or missing the last bus home can continue to enrich us for many generations to come." ptua.org.au/2024/04/01/her…
🛗❌Lifts at most Melbourne CBD stations are out of service at the moment☹️ This has been an ongoing problem at Southern Cross for about a month now😠

@ptua Don’t get your hopes up. The plan is to do nothing.
It’s great that there’s investment in growing the V/Line fleet, but after 20 years of making VLocities, the government should be considering a new design.
Decades spent making it easier to drive and hard to get around without a car has backfired, making it worse for everyone.
I mean, why even bother to consult the community? 72% wanted to make these parklets permanent. But business owners didn’t. So the council will remove them. Gotta love Boroondara.

🚉🎂 Happy 140th birthday to Melton station, opened on this day in 1884. The station is set for a revamp, but the government really needs to commit to electrification, to add capacity and more regular services to this line to western Melb, and to help speed up Ballarat trains.
@MAndrewWaugh @danielbowen We're calling for more than just properly archiving the paper copies! Given many route frequencies haven't changed in decades, the government seems to agree with us.👍
More accurate real-time information is very useful. Even better is a public transport service that is reliable and frequent enough that you never have to wait long at the stop. Often overcrowded trams every 20-30 minutes in the evenings don't cut it. theage.com.au/politics/victo…
