Second revision of the 2050 Metropolitan map. (Regional map coming soon, I promise*)

@Ashton25167690 god forbid someone draw a reasonable boundary with their family but its all fine to joke about a 19 year old being murdered? you fucking subhuman

@Bruh15518837 @anarchoboognish Bet I won't get wiped out in a laundry room though, so, I's gots that goings for me!

My grandmother called the police on me because I stopped talking to her for repeatedly referring to me as "he" in a voicemail. The cops showed up and we talked for like 60 seconds and he told us to go to court and get a no contact order so actions have consequences I guess

@AussieWirraway fair enough if one of them were to fail in regular service it would be a media shitstorm, so careful, limited testing with passengers is probably for the best

@dryplumfactory Metro is only running them between scheduled services at the moment. It isn't clear when they'll enter full revenue service yet, but I'm sure it won't be far away

More X'trapolis 2.0 posting for your feed: this morning the trainset ran its first service on the Craigieburn line! Here she is at Kensington, greeted by a smaller crowd compared to last week's big show

@aussiewongm I assume it's a way to immediately filter out the old cards from being used It's a good way to get some community engagement and encourage creativity for the youth, I'm sure that offsets the cost to swap the design out anyways.

@literar63 Interesting decision to decide to change the design every year given they charge you $5 each time for a new "free" Youth myki.

someone fucked up: "This information is embargoed!" "Please ensure this information is not published or shared publicly" yet this is the first result on the Transport Victoria news page 🤷‍♀️

10k people at fed square booing the star mangled banner will bring a tear to the eye.

made a little guy icon

@expedtadam Frankston council is even worse, seeing as Seaford's catchment is dissected by the M11 freeway (of course there are bridges but they are a pretty big deterrent as they aren't accessible)

How many Melburnians live within walking distance of our railway stations - I crunched the numbers, and unfortunately, it's less than half, but it differs greatly across council areas.

@Boenau I can believe in mistakes, not every driver is perfect (as i can certainly attest with my own driving record) But getting nicked by the same camera 3 times in a month is a pattern of clear indifference - car brains arent sending their best

"I follow the rules of the road except for when I drive through red lights." 🤦‍♂️

Proud to finally begin posting my ideas to fix the bus network in Frankston, starting with Karingal and Langwarrin. I'm not particularly happy with the very obviously just a powerpoint presentation style, but I'd rather have something awful looking than nothing at all.

if i dont actually do my damned work tomorrow, i need someone to break my ankles with a wrench

@hamhammer27 can't blame them for having beard goals

at a shop in Brunswick getting stuff framed and the person infront is getting photos of Karl Marx framed in $85 dollar stained ash frames 👍🏻

Starting to realise she isn't coming back

God I hate foamers Genuinely the dumbest people on the fucking planet

@Fredfredsonnyc Classic seppo, no rebuttal, just assuming your shithole is the only country that matters

@dryplumfactory lol get your metric system out of this conversation, Australian

At a recent candidate debate, we had an important conversation about traffic safety and fairness in DC. Let me be clear: we’re not going to ticket our way to Vision Zero. Too many residents feel like the current traffic camera system is predatory and prioritizes revenue over safety. That must change. As I’ve said, cameras should exist to save lives, not to place a financial burden on working families. My plan is straightforward: redesign dangerous roads, align street design with safe driving speeds, and focus enforcement where it actually prevents crashes. We will establish an Office on Vision Zero, fix inequities in camera placement, reinvest revenue back into safer streets, and hold drivers accountable—no matter where they’re from. This is about results, not rhetoric. Safe streets. Fair systems. Real accountability—for every ward.

@Fredfredsonnyc Put a speed bump on a 100km/h highway and see how you go champ

@worst_egirl Who knows? I've been deep in a book so I haven't been paying attention to what's going on
