For those of you in Australia (especially QLD) and care about trans rights make your voice heard! This is crazy stuff to pull as the minister of "health" to ban puberty blockers after the supreme court decision. Write to your MP's, email the minister, or even just sign the petition. #transrights 🏳️‍⚧️ 🇦🇺

Athena trolley busses are cool, I just wish they'd stop running battery busses right underneath the wires :/

See. it's right there. You have a battery bus running under wires, followed by a trolley bus. Why!?

Anyone on the Cranbourne, Pakenham, Frankston, and potentially Sandringham Lines be warned. Vehicle crashed into a bridge at South Yarra. No train movements beyond Caulfield.

Say it with me now "This is why we need proper GTFS!"

I love NaviLens Go it makes using trams so much easier for me.

Although I have two issues. Why does NaviLens (Not "Go", different app, same company) always take up the top result on Google Play. It's a more feature limited app and I'm sure so people use it but as someone who NaviLens Go seems to have all that and more as well as it being easier for most people.

Had some time to catch the Steamrail Victoria steam shuttles down at Glen Huntly today. Here are some photos :)

I didn't know they could display custom messages on the PIDS.

Why does every state and territory in Australia have a different transport card that only works on their systems. I understand that card payment "fixes" the issue but really I see this as a failure of the federal government for just letting the states and territories do their own thing.

Paying purely by credit/debit is not the best solution since it fails to view those who don't pay a full fare like students, children, concession holders, etc.

Quick trip to Glen Waverly to see the preserved Tait Set running on Melbourne's rails. I'll be back down to Syndal later to catch it again.

And now to pedal myself back to The Glen for some bubble tea.

This is killing me because the trains are running and have positions in the real world but the API returns NOTHING. And worse it returns HTTP 200 "OK" the standard response.

Trying to work with Metro Trains Melbourne GTFS-R data is doing my head in. Why does half the time the API return nothing. Nothing at all. I just have to keep calling it and eventually I get data, but it might contain a portion of all trains.

I visited the Ellenbrook Line open day in Perth yesterday and to see how undeveloped and future forward it was only makes me wish we'd do something like that in Melbourne
