Whether you were headed for mass or the marathon this morning, #Melbourne's trains don't make it easy to get there on time. Despite plenty of demand, about half the Metro lines run only every 40 minutes until 10am on Sundays. #MoreServicesPlease

A good discussion last week on active transport, with Minister for Public and Active Transport Gabrielle Williams, and other advocates, including our friends at Victoria Walks. Better walking and cycling options help get more people to public transport more efficiently, and mean fewer households paying for an extra car to sit in a car park all day.🚉🚶🚴

New research on ways to improve Melbourne's bus services. https://lnkd.in/gjZMt5uP
Navigating the bus network in Melbourne (and most other Australian cities) often feels like manoeuvring through a maze of inefficiencies, a particularly challenging experience in growth areas.
