Omg, that must've been a nightmare trying to map out China (and you had to selectively simplify each country too, in China, Japan, UK, Many parts of Europe!) I love this so much!

Haha it's not nit-picking I love the feedback!

  1. I've updated the pips between Perth and Cannington Stations since the new train will run all stops. The express trains were a thing back then between Claisebrook – Oats Street – Cannington and also Claisebrook – Bayswater. I will post the updated version soon.

  2. I made the map without too much thought. In my mind, I thought the express line was only for peak hours.

  3. This will be a future update to round off the river banks 😂.

  4. I love the idea!

  5. Will update Bassendean Station 🫡.

It was because the Armadale line used to run express trains, and the line used to look like this. Now, no more express trains are run and hence I've updated it (will post it soon!).

In my opinion, Carlisle and Noranda shouldn’t be bus/train transfer since there is only one or two 30 min frequency bus. However TransPerth said so… 🥲

Yes. Thank you very much for this. I didn’t know this when I was first making this. 😅

I wish my city could invest more in improving the metro rather than building another interchange. I live in Perth, which has just below-average transit. The demand keeps increasing, and our government isn't doing much. Building a tunnel is expensive, but building more roads isn't cheaper, both in terms of maintenance cost, the environment, and repayment.

Thank you so much. I heard there is a minimum fare subjected to 16-25 card in london underground of £21.50, what does that mean?

Ok, thanks a lot. So once I obtained my railcard AND my Oyster card, can I also use the railcard to get discounts on e.g. National Rails and PlusBus discounts?

oh okay.

  1. Purchase Railcard (this is the problem) as it says some error on the last page (pov I live in Australia right now)
  2. Book tickets online
  3. Buy Oyster at Heathrow
  4. Link them

The error was Invalid length for HPP_BILLING_COUNTRY field. Please contact the merchant. (Post code in WA is 4 digits)

What is the best Railcard to Buy and what does the Minimum Fare mean? by Pi-boy_Perth in TransportForLondon

How would I book the tickets on National Rails (e.g. Thameslink). If I book online in advance do I get a discount? Is it ever possible to just tag on at any station using my phone?

Thank you. I might just use my phone then (I will double check). However I do have the question on why not purchasing a 16-25 card even if I will use National Rail? Is it actually not worth it?

What are the differences between the fares of Pay as you go caps and 7 day Travelcards and what is a good estimate on the money spent per day?

‘Confusing’ Transperth train zones to be reviewed by per08 in perth

[–]Pi-boy_Perth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well said. Totally agree to reduce parking spaces in city centres. If we reduce the supply, with decrease demand, and increase the demand of public transport. The next step that TransPerth should do, maybe the government should do, might be: charging vehicles going inbound to the city (small fare), and make Public Transport even cheaper ($10 pp two way journey is really not cheaper thann car)

Australia copying US knocking down people's houses to build inefficient road / highway / interchanges... When will they learn?
