All these buses feeding into Moorabbin, and only a train every 8-10 minutes into the City (half the usual peak frequency). No wonder it’s so crowded today. #MetroTrains

🚉🎂Happy 140th birthday to Showgrounds station, opened 7th Nov 1883. Showgrounds and Flemington stations are a reminder that public transport can be very popular - including with people who don't use it very often - when it's fast, frequent, reliable and convenient. 📷PRO Victoria

There's almost *200 million dollars* on Myki cards. The government should make every effort to get money back to people - and push ahead with bank card fare payment options as soon as possible. (Meanwhile, check your old cards!) theage.com.au/national/victo…

It's 110 ten years today since electric trams first ran from Elsternwick to Glen Huntly. And they're still the best electric car for cities. 📷via National Library of Australia

It's frustrating to be stuck on a stopped train - but jumping off between stations is dangerous, and inevitably leads to longer delays.

Watch out! Major #MetroTrains works this weekend from Friday night (and some V/Line services are replaced all this week) #bustitution

Happy 152th birthday to Yarraville station! Passengers often suffer long delays at the crossing waiting for trains. Govt has plans to permanently close the crossing and provide an accessible wide underpass. Sounds good! 📷1909 via State Library 📷2010 Marcus Wong, via Wikipedia

🚉🎂Happy 147th birthday to Winchelsea station, opened on this day in 1876. With recent Warrnambool line upgrades, there are now five trains per day on weekdays. With V/Line demand surging, it would be great to see more services on weekends too. 📷via PROV

Good: bus interchange upgraded✅ Better: more frequent bus services all day, every day✅✅ Best: frequent direct efficient routes, with on-road traffic priority✅✅✅ wyndham.starweekly.com.au/news/tarneit-g…

Today is International Day of People with Disability - and while there's been progress, there's clearly a lot more to be done to make our public transport network accessible for everyone. idpwd.com.au

Past investments in buses such as Smartbus and the uni shuttles have resulted in strong patronage growth. "If buses are upgraded, if they get traffic-light priority, if they run more frequently, people will use them." abc.net.au/news/2023-12-0…

True Believers | Vtuber debut soon If only they’d duplicated Mooroolbark to Lilydale while they were there so we could actually use the extra capacity. Has been on CommutersCount advocacy platform for 8 years etc.org.au/commuterscount…

Better bus services, especially in middle and outer suburbs that are crying out for decent public transport, would get people out of their cars, providing relief from the traffic and saving households thousands of dollars a year. ptua.org.au/2023/12/08/bus…

These machines stop climate change. #COP28 Long read: there's a big challenge to decarbonise transport, and electric cars alone won't do it. ptua.org.au/2023/12/09/the…

The PT Minister wouldn't say the new myki fare amount today - but it appears your tip was right Daniel Bowen .. This pic just in from Robert's bus window re the 2024 fare prices:
