Melbourne, Victoria
How ALP can appeal to bus voter base Rest of Sep (planning in red with some announcements in yellow) Oct/Nov (more announcements with some implementation (green) bf and after election Mix of smartbus, feeders and regionals.
There’s some low hanging fruit here. Some good BCR projects that will appeal to hundreds of thousand of voters 👇 @BenCarrollMP @AnthonyC4PV @SarahConnollyMP @Steve_Dimo @paul4frankston @mjfregon m.facebook.com/groups/987259…?

That is like explaining that the reason for fertility decline is Americans just prefer to not have babies. A hundred years of direct and indirect subsidy of auto-dependency, from all levels of government, especially federal, with much of that financed via public debt obligations laid upon future generations that have led to hundreds of millions of people buying cars, generally with more debt, and buying houses designed for cars (as codes and zoning requires), also with more debt, and when a business tries to paddle against that current and fails, you explain its failure by saying Americans simply prefer auto-dependency.

How on earth is it ‘inappropriate’? Wetlands (that used to be a tip) within 1km are now a reason why nothing can be built? The Greens are cunts. Stand against literally everything they purport to be in favour of

Upon advice from the Herald Sun I’m thinking 🤔 of moving north to Sydney for the low crime rates and bargain property prices. Do you agree @taipan168
Victorian crime stats out today. Both Victoria and NSW are among the safest places on earth. But why did Victoria have years of media hysteria over a rise in property offences while NSW was able to sweep rising violent crime under the rug until recent tragedies?

Funny the same people that talk about ‘family values’ are exactly the same #nimby types that make housing so expensive it’s impossible to afford to have a family 😳 @jonobri @yimbymelbourne @hillfolkAU

If we went back to migration patterns of the 1970’s there wouldn’t be as much traffic congestion 😬

Too much driving messes with our heads. "But if you make the lanes skinnier, I'll have to pay better attention while I'm driving."

Williamstown MP & Carroll government minister Melissa Horne has pledged to back the Better Buses campaign in the west. This would deliver buses every 10 min on simpler direct routes. Altona North in her seat would be a prime area in need of such reform. #springst

Jonathan absolutely deserves this recognition. I've never seen anyone work so tirelessly to make Australia's cities better places to live—not just for the wealthy, but for everyone.
An absolute honour to be on the @FinancialReview Power List. This is a spectacular recognition of all the fantastic work that @yimbymelbourne has done over the past four years. Thank you to everyone who has been part of that.

KNOX TRANSPORT SURVEY: If you think the 737 bus should run more often, 745's timetable is dopey, train services could be better or a multitude of other things that ails PT in Knox, then complete the survey here: haveyoursay.knox.vic.gov.au/… (there's an interactive map too) #springst

Sometimes I lose my temper when idiots out there think it’s normal that average house should cost $2 million dollars I understand capitalism if someone innovates or contributes to the economy then they should be rewarded. But not for sitting on a plot of land.

Modern cargo bikes don't replace bicycles, they replace cars. If you haven't ridden since childhood, the capability will shock you. Groceries are the perfect gateway errand for daily mobility. The bikes are ready. We just need the infrastructure.
