Metro Tunnel Opening Day: Transit-Oriented Development Assessment I visited all 5 new stations. Queued an hour at Sunbury. Rode opening train. Documented everything. Here's what they got right, what they got wrong, and what we should copy. Thread 🧵 #MetroTunnel #Urbanism

Heaps of others have posted but l don’t know why they reopened the section of Flinders St that was closed (due to Munnel works)for a few years to cars..the city seemed to cope..how good would it have been if there was a pedestrian plaza outside one of our main train stations..

@TerenceMcCart14 Victorian Labor has infuriatingly low vision urban planning policies. Everything has to be designed to accommodate cars in some way, even in the CBD. They don't seem to realise that you can just close streets during the day and allow commercial vehicles in at night and early morn

@wheelreinvent I mean, I was at Kings Cross yesterday and the advertising literally had sound. I think I'll take Melbourne's screens over a full assault on my senses.

Wheel reinventor@wheelreinvent·20 Mar

The big difference between these spaces in Sydney and the similar metro tunnel ones in Melbourne is that the Melbourne ones are absolutely plastered in glaringly bright, continually animated advertising screens everywhere. It really ruins them.

Sydney Uncovered@syduncovered

Down the never-ending escalator at Sydney Central Station to catch the metro. What an incredible piece of public transport infrastructure. 🚊

Protect Fitzroy North - No to NIMBYs, Yes to Homes@NorthProte27303·21 Mar

Flinders Street is the heart of Melbourne. Why are we letting thousands of square feet of prime real estate stay empty above the platforms when they could be homes, just to appease heritage pests? It’s not the 90s anymore, we don’t have the luxury of being this wasteful.

I'm sorry, but you have to be insane to prefer leaving a 200m wide gap here than allowing construction of new buildings above one of the world's largest and busiest railway stations

Central Station in Sydney over station development. And like that, it’s gone.

@Llib7 I'm neither here nor there on FTZ but it's a bit silly that a trip within the Hoddle Grid by tram is free, but by bus or train it costs 2 hour fare even for a single stop.

Tyler Durden🚈🚲🚌@Llib7·24 Şub

Seems that people in the PAT arena aren‘s big fans of the FTZ, there are a few fans but remember the question is asking should it be replaced by cheaper short distance tickets and that is something Melbourne needs especially with more WFH

Tyler Durden🚈🚲🚌@Llib7

FTZ should be removed and replaced with cheaper short distance fares

Called it. 😇 New pool: how long does Angus Taylor last before the party room eats him too? Coalition primary vote is 18%. One Nation is at 27%. he's got until 2028 to turn that around. Place your bets. 🫡

@Llib7 @BenCarrollMP @ColinBrooksMP @AnthonyC4PV @SarahConnollyMP @Steve_Dimo @paul4frankston @mjfregon @SonyaKilkenny If Melbourne captured retail/advertising/property revenue properly, farebox could be lower AND system could be profitable. I suspect Munnel retail goes to CYP rather than govt.

@FinnehPAT @BenCarrollMP @ColinBrooksMP @AnthonyC4PV @SarahConnollyMP @Steve_Dimo @paul4frankston @mjfregon @SonyaKilkenny There’s also a political side. Frequency also creates voters. These days fares are too low to really generate reasonable revenue so it now comes down to politics

Yep standing room after 10 stations in. Definitely a big increase in patronage on the weekends in #melbourne. Maybe in future drop to $1-2 per day @BenCarrollMP @ColinBrooksMP @AnthonyC4PV @SarahConnollyMP @Steve_Dimo @paul4frankston @mjfregon @SonyaKilkenny

@Llib7 Every time I've used transit on the weekends it's been crush capacity. My parents went to AO yesterday. Direct quote from my Mum: "Epic public transport fail. AO trams at capacity and people can't get on. Small trams, not the big ones and not a good frequency."

English

Tyler Durden🚈🚲🚌@Llib7·17 Oca

Trains still busy on the weekend in #melbourne and probably #Victoria in January. Anyone else have anecdotal evidence. I’d actually like to see the stats for this although that may be harder without tapping on

@Llib7 @ptua @MelbOnTransit @JacintaAllanMP Rather than straight up denying you service, the FlexiRide app should send you into a queue. Why it doesn't do that is a mystery to me.

Just thought I'd see if I could actually get to the train this morning while my wife was driving me to the station. This is why we drive. @Llib7 @ptua @MelbOnTransit @JacintaAllanMP

Revised bus timetables aren't up yet but trips are in the journey planner. Confirms that the new 241 bus will run from North Melbourne to at least Victoria Park via Arden and Parkville. This will run every 10 min weekdays and 30 min weekends.

They spent half a billion dollars to not solve the problem. They'll cut the ribbon. Take the photos. Declare victory. And in 2027, Melton residents will still be driving to the train station, waiting 20 minutes for a train that's too crowded. premier.vic.gov.au/transport-upgr…

You can't claim to be building world-class public transport when a 16-minute drive takes 72 minutes by bus. You can't call it a "network" when the closest stop is a 30-minute walk. This isn't transport policy. This is abandonment. #auspol #vicpol #MelbourneTransport @ptua @Llib7

At @FusionPartyAU, we have a plan to Reclaim Our Economy by actually funding bus operations. 5-minute frequencies on major roads. 10-minutes on regional connectors. Local buses that actually reach residential areas. Operations first. Make transit work for everyone.

I just tried to get home from the shops using public transport. It's a 16-minute drive. Google Maps told me it would take 1 hour 12 minutes by bus. Let me show you exactly how broken Melton's bus network is. 🧵
