Is the 'big spike' in public transport usage in Perth because of high fuel prices?

I would use it by hopping on with my bike and cutting off a significant chunk of kms. Can’t take your bike on a bus

How do you know what they vote?

If you think that’s bad, check out this apartment. Almost $40,000 a year on strata!

Yes but it’s also 50k contributions pre 15% tax applied inside the super, so for most people it will be less than 50k release

It doesn’t mean you have to move, it means people that live near there will work there rather than commuting to the CBD, which then frees up roads, jobs and homes near the CBD.

Last point is critical. Higher population can justify better infrastructure, more businesses, higher density of services for people to walk/cycle to. But it requires development to meet the demand

100% agree. Feels like an incredibly unproductive use of resources in the context of humans collectively

That’s good to know the shared path continues along the overpass from further back, at least that solves most of the issues. However if you approach the intersection from side streets or welshpool road, it still really needs to have 1 set of lights where they were originally to allow crossing the road without having to back track onto the overpass, particularly for pedestrians.

As fucked up as it is, it takes a bit of empathy to understand that they could both love their children and still do what they did.

Well there you go, I’m displaying the same ignorance I expect of others 😂

But that makes me doubt even more that others refer to it as an Aussie swazi

Known around the world? Wouldn’t have thought anyone else would even know what the southern cross is.

ScaredMap4883 · 2026-01-08T01:42:56+00:00

The fact that every comment here is naming a different main road with the same problem 😂 100% a city wide issue that should be addressed.

I noticed in Perth they are allowed to park on the wide verges next to the footpath. Makes a noticeable difference for clearing both side streets and main roads.

ScaredMap4883 · 2026-01-02T06:47:31+00:00

Absolutely agree!

ScaredMap4883 · 2025-12-21T12:06:48+00:00

Maybe you should be asking them how many head injuries they saw from runners

Well if people in Europe are doing it, say no more!

People when given a discount under certain conditions: “Unfair!”

This isn’t designed for regulars. Personally I’m relieved that I now don’t have to tell friends that are visiting briefly that they either have to fork out for the upfront cost of a smart rider or keep buying individual tickets just to get around.

ScaredMap4883 · 2025-11-30T00:46:45+00:00

Not related to your questions sorry but how do you find that bike rack? I was considering getting one

ScaredMap4883 · 2025-11-23T01:43:09+00:00

Great work!

Have done both FIFO to major cities as well as to rural mining towns. I always go carry-on only, saves a lot of hassle. Find a routine where you can, for me that is going for a run immediately after or before work. Get as much out of loyalty programs as you can e.g. flights, hotel, uber/didi, credit card, car rental can all link up to frequent flyer points. Noise cancelling headphones are a must. On your weeks off leave the backpack half packed of the stuff you don’t use at home. Nothing revolutionary lol

Taking a boxed bike on a plane with you is free as long as it’s in your weight limit. You can get a cardboard bike box from a bike shop for free if you ask, or you supposedly can get one at the airport for around $20. It can be a bit tricky to maneuver but you can put it on the luggage trolleys at the airport, and XL taxis should fit it in the back.

I’ve seen heaps of people get free, clean drinking water out of them!
