Level crossing removals in Tokyo making the most of the new spaces created beneath the viaducts. A very different model of land use and transport integration and different values around public open space, poses many fascinating questions for Australia. www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/on…

Such an honour and a privilege to work with these wonderful people!

We need a comprehensive metropolitan transport plan based on mode share targets linked to GHG reduction targets, that also meets minimum levels of service to guarantee adequate social inclusion. Model that, and put it to a vote! theconversation.com/the-problem-wi…

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results. Melbourne, still building mega roads, expecting congestion to get better. theconversation.com/were-still-fig…

Come to RMIT’s Storey Hall today at 5:30 for an expert panel discussion on the legacy of Melbourne’s 1969 Transportation Plan! mobile.abc.net.au/news/2019-12-1…

You don’t think the likes of Transurban do comprehensive planning before they make their bids, direct their investments, lobby for what’s good for their shareholders?

Perhaps we could have some attention to the factors that currently deter people from walking and cycling before reinventing the wheel?

Isn’t there the option of putting the project out to tender and seeing how the market responds? Why does it have to be either an un-solicited private bid or something something else? We need more discussion about something something else here!

Ask Australians if they’d prefer the fastest option and of course they’ll say yes every time. They’re not thinking about the ratio of benefits to costs; and most will rarely use the line anyway theage.com.au/victoria/skip-…

It’s purely commercial. If it became known that AVs were programmed with utilitarian ethics, that is, to behave in ways that benefited the greatest number of people, no-one would use them. fastcompany.com/3064539/self-d…

Why spend $15bn for a one-seat airport ride accessible from only two stations, with only in the central city, when we could have the same thing accessible from 38 stations, with 5 in the central city? theage.com.au/national/victo…

Indeed. Why spend $15bn on an express only accessible from 2 stations when we could have a direct train to the airport accessible from 38 stations!

Here's a thought. Lets put all the talk of MaaS and automation on one side until we have a reasonable number of rail carriages moving commuters in the morning peak to a timetable that works. I'm pretty sure the 80 odd standing people here would riot in a smart mobility conference
