Bus driving really is the best life 🤗

How can there possibly be a #DriverShortage?! Just look at how awesome it is #IWannaRideTheBus #transit #ComeDriveTheBus #APTAexpo #AllAboutThatBus @LADOTofficial @RideARTbus @OptibusHQ

Get ready for this afternoon's frank and fearless discussion on all things #DemandResponsive. Our Principal, Yale Wong will speak on "Getting #DRT right: Lessons and a blueprint for Melbourne", joining Juan @moovit and Peter @MelbOnTransit.

[Dr Transportation @yalezwong]

Too many business-as-usual practices continue to proliferate, including in the public transport sector. We disregard #airborne transmission dangers, the need for thorough #ventilation plans and continue the shift in the onus of responsibility from institutions to individuals.

[Dr Transportation @yalezwong]

Let's not kid ourselves! Reopening NSW with 58% of the entire population fully vaccinated (72% over 16) against high levels of community transmission (and low background protection) is uncharted territory fraught with #uncertainty.

[Dr Transportation @yalezwong]

The future demands a pivot from mere cost efficiency to building #fullydistributed models of transport delivery that prioritise inter-operability, resilience and institutional adaptability.

[Dr Transportation @yalezwong]

35 years ago in the #Ukrainian SSR, 1200 buses and 300 trucks were deployed from Kyiv to evacuate 45,000 residents from #Pripyat and nearby villages. The queue of buses was 25 km long, and within 3 hours the entire city would be emptied—and to remain so forever.

[Dr Transportation @yalezwong]

The increasing frequency of natural disasters and black swan events demand that cities develop critical transport plans and #wargame major logistical scenarios. The pursuit of smaller government and outsourcing can reduce operational agility and inter-agency coordination.

[Dr Transportation @yalezwong]

Building #robustness and #redundancy is critical in a COVID world. Meal rooms, toilets and control centres are prime #transmission locations and critical points of #failure. See how one asymptomatic driver shut an entire rail network statewide.

[Dr Transportation @yalezwong]

Wonderful to join colleagues in the Philippines, Malaysia and the UK to discuss smart infrastructure #transCOVID. How do we adopt the #precautionary principle in policymaking/governance and act in the absence of perfect knowledge?

Catch up on the session at @move_asia.

... (e.g., rapid, branch, trunk, circulation) to offer great operational flexibility, or #route-based to give more prominence to specific corridors. Coupled with #frequent network mapping, BBS supports network legibility and usability, whilst improving the #image of the bus.

[Dr Transportation @yalezwong]

This is not your ordinary bus. #Branded bus services (BBS) use an exclusive fleet with dedicated livery, helping orientate customers at a glance and communicate the #invisible system attributes of span and frequency. BBS may be #service-based...

... the 1,166 metre crossing at 6 m/s. High-speed elevators provide access to the system on both sides of the Yangtze River. Despite numerous new road and #monorail crossings, the cableway continues to carry 10,000 people per day and is now designated a national cultural relic.

[Dr Transportation @yalezwong]

Crossing the metropolis by cable car is a daily lived reality for the residents of #Chongqing. Opened in 1987, the Yangtze River Cableway (长江索道) provides a vital connection in China's third largest city. Each of the two cable cars carry 65 passengers, and traverses...

• Route #599 started its life as Trunkey Creek - Newbridge - Bathurst, but was redirected to operate via Blayney and Fitzgerald’s Mount last year. It was operated by Bathurst Buslines.

[Dr Transportation @yalezwong]

Without fanfare, we said goodbye to these three @TransportforNSW #trials earlier this year, none of which generated any significant patronage. Publishing trial evaluations offer broad #learnings for service improvement in thin rural/regional markets.

[Dr Transportation @yalezwong]

• Route #499 started its life as Goondiwindi - North Star - Inverell, and was extended from Goondiwindi to Moree last year to reduce dead running and increase coverage. It was operated by Reynold & Fogarty of Moree.
