So that leaves looking for the obvious cheap options: conversion of existing lines. Bondi Junction to Hurstville has been touted and so has Revesby to Central via Green Square. With the success of Sydney Metro today, these might be on the table. By taking Bankstown and Revesby trains out of...
Here’s how Sydney looks for the ratio of jobs to workers in SA3s: The outer south-west has a low ratio and is quite remote from any SA3 with a surplus of jobs, hence relatively long median distances to work. Some pockets of the north-west had low ratios, but were adjacent to high...
employment: number of jobs and jobs density, • local GDP per capita, • city profile, radial or other pattern of trips, land uses, major poles of attraction of trips. The forecaster of a public transport demand problem will select some of the above variables as independent variables for...
You can also see public transport mode shares were generally highest for people working “full-time” (35-40 hours) and those who didn’t work in the previous week, and were generally lower for people who worked more then 40 hours (possibly working long shifts or multiple jobs – making ...
The proportion of jobs not in the inner 4km or a suburban employment cluster increased between 2011 and 2016 in all cities except Sydney (although the shift was very small in Melbourne). Here’s a summary of private transport mode shares for the clusters, versus the inner city versus everywh...

"A transport network across the state that better connects regional cities and centres will improve amenity for regional communities and increase access to regional jobs, services and education," the government adds. Although there is a heavy infrastructure and planning focus on ...
For a majority of Australian city centres, the public transport system comprises buses, trains, and trams. International students and the general public in Sydney, Newcastle, and New South Wales generally depend on the rail system for daily commutes. It offers the most convenient and reasonable ...
Between 2011 and 2016, journey to work public transport mode shares went up significantly in Melbourne and Sydney but dropped significantly in Perth and Brisbane. Private transport mode shifts did the opposite. Can this be explained by the changing distribution of jobs within cities, or other facto...
When the central city jobs are stripped out, you see mostly high private transport mode shares. Some relative exceptions to this include journeys to places like Box Hill, Hawthorn, and Footscray. More on that in a future post. Here are the same maps for Sydney: Across both of these maps ...
