It's been nice knowing you all. I'm winding down my interactions here limiting to transportation agencies that hasn't moved on, and DMs. Otherwise find me on Discord, Mastodon or Bluesky.

Robert Dow passed away on Tuesday this week after a long illness

Robert is known to many as founder of Brisbane Public Transport advocacy group Rail Back on Track.
He was active here as @ozbob13 and @Robert_Dow and regularly appeared in the media advocating for public transport

I’ve had too many cases of “please try again” with myki cards on Myki readers on buses upon reaching the terminus ever since we swapped over to contactless acceptance. Not sure what’s causing this.

@aussiewongm I feel like these are meant to split toilet flush with another toilet related plumbing, like a washlet.

@simongerman600 Would be interesting to see separate stats for the constituent countries of the UK

[Arfman ☀️🚍🚆🚊🚲💻 @arfman]

@TheOpalUser @AussieWirraway The one to Broken Hill?

@literar63 If there’s no date, they might be generated on request

@trashyhonky @JacintaAllanMP What’s the deal with cats in cages not allowed in trains there? How do people travel to the vet?

[Arfman ☀️🚍🚆🚊🚲💻 @arfman]

@trashyhonky @aussiewongm Shin-Sydney at Parramatta perhaps

[Arfman ☀️🚍🚆🚊🚲💻 @arfman]

@metrotrains There were only one gate available so it created quite a line

[Arfman ☀️🚍🚆🚊🚲💻 @arfman]

Hi @metrotrains all myki gates at Footscray platform 4 and 5 except the accessible one seems to be entry only no exit. And the Vline arrival display on bridge concourse has not been working for a few weeks.

@PierreVairo @VSBassoon I wonder if people on the Frankston, Werribee and Williamtown lines did the same thing when it went cross suburban for the first time

[Arfman ☀️🚍🚆🚊🚲💻 @arfman]

@AussieWirraway If you have to rebuild it, surely it should comply with DDA?

[Arfman ☀️🚍🚆🚊🚲💻 @arfman]

@aussiewongm @boomerangmadi @AlMacca84 Oh wait I thought you can still go through the concourses without going down to the platform albeit within the fare areas.

[Arfman ☀️🚍🚆🚊🚲💻 @arfman]

@aussiewongm @boomerangmadi @AlMacca84 I don’t get why they close the access between the two if the concourse is open

[Arfman ☀️🚍🚆🚊🚲💻 @arfman]

@papertimetable @AussieWirraway I hope you got it. I saw someone pick one up.

[Arfman ☀️🚍🚆🚊🚲💻 @arfman]

@aussiewongm @Robs_au I think the need to group both stations under one name if the system can't tag those both as one.

[Arfman ☀️🚍🚆🚊🚲💻 @arfman]

@hamhammer27 What’s with the dual totems along these route? Most of them offer any extra information.

[Arfman ☀️🚍🚆🚊🚲💻 @arfman]

@Shadowstar582 Was there another one for Cranbourne?
