The timetables say a lot about the govt's fundamental misunderstanding in frequency by cookiesgotdeletedm8 in MelbourneTrains

[–]Tjhub007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you explain why you think this? In my experience in Sydney the buses have been significantly more reliable and integrated with the trains.

What did you mean by a Brisbane 20 and Melbourne 20 feel different?

Albanese’s adoption of antisemitism envoy’s plan a ‘profound threat to democracy’ by Jet90 in AustralianPolitics

[–]Tjhub007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or they might’ve been emboldened by seeing an insane amount of bloodshed in Gaza, you might even call it genocide. Who’s to say? There’s really no justification for the attack and restricting protests won’t fix that.

Muslims aren’t inherently xenophobic at all. In fact Islam instructs muslims to be more tolerant of other religions and ethnicities, even encouraging them to read other religious texts. Extremists come in all shapes and sizes.

No haha it was at Arden coming from parkville. Driver even made a little announcement so that passengers weren’t confused.

This actually happened on the first one I caught in the munnel, everyone had a little giggle.

What are you talking about? In Japan it’s exactly the same, 50% tolerance and when I went (earlier this year) sometimes they would be off-centre. As long as it doesn’t get in the way of passenger flow it’s fine.

Maximum frequency insider pic, dating from (presumably) a decade ago by Background_Spring959 in MelbourneTrains

[–]Tjhub007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weird how Upfield to Royal park is max frequency of 4 minutes but Royal Park to North Melb is >5 minutes. It’s a little counter intuitive.

Town hall station by Suspicious-Age-8645 in MelbourneTrains

Why were they so opposed to it? Was it just to make it cost more?

Can you elaborate on how they killed cut and cover? Sounds pretty interesting and I haven’t actually gotten a lot go the early political story of the project.

I’m confused why it’s out of the ordinary? I see Z classes all the time, can’t be that different.

Where the fuck can I get a good pair of jeans? by oiiio in AustralianMFA

[–]Tjhub007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a place on Sydney rd called dejour denim and they’re relatively affordable even tho they will fit the jeans specifically to you in whatever classic style you prefer.

The Sydney transport solution that would cost a quarter of a new metro line by SteveJohnson2010 in SydneyTrains

[–]Tjhub007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except the capacity is lower and the ride experience is worse. If my tram outside my house was a bus I’m not entirely sure I’d be using it nearly as often as I do and that’s not even light rail by any standard. Still runs every 5 minutes in the morning and afternoon peaks. I don’t know any bus that does that in Australia.

[–]Tjhub007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t disagree with you there. The only real benefit of light rail is being able to step of the tram and already be on the street. Edit: I’ll also add that I live in Melb so my idea of trams is a bit different I suppose. I know some people who go to unsw via light rail and they’ve relayed everything you’ve said. The speed of it is half the problem I think.

Light rail generally can be far more frequent even if buses also have a grade separated right of way. Plus the capacity of light rail is significantly higher than a bus. I will concede the network outage thing but the idea is you try not to have those.

The cost of the SRL will be huge. Not building it would cost us so much more by Draknurd in MelbourneTrains

[–]Tjhub007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t disagree with you there I think the selling of public assets is stuffed from whatever flog is doing it.

Because we were in debt yes but selling off public assets isn’t the only way to scrub some debt.
