@BranwellTravers has tracked decline in pedestrian activity across #Melbourne using @cityofmelbourne's pedestrian counter data comparing it to the March 2019 average. Activity across the city is down to 18% thanks to #COVID-19 social distancing restrictions. Great infographic!

The Andrews Labor Govt will trial a Cooperative Intelligent Transport System to improve tram priority at intersections and boost tram times.

Melbourne has the most extensive tram network in the world, but it's also one of the slowest. That's about to change https://t.co/hRp5Ld2sGj

The map would be almost blank if you showed bus services with a headway of 30 minutes or less.

[Branwell Travers @BranwellTravers]

Melbourne's buses have an enormous geographic spread (albeit often meandering) however what the map doesn't show is frequency or reliability

[Branwell Travers @BranwellTravers]

PTV have released the 'Melbourne by Bus' interactive map to highlight the buses you can catch in your local area https://t.co/4v12BLOpRp

Investigating car share options - but it seems like my area (Wiliamstown) is a car share blackspot.

Relaxing Saturday reading @NACTO's Urban Street Design Guide. Terrific resource for designing streets for people.

What great idea! RT @railwaygazette: New trains will use the total weight to calculate which coaches are least busy.
