This may have been to prevent new passengers from rushing for the train, given they are used to the longer dwell times on Sydney Trains. Something similar happened on Sydney Light Rail when the L2 opened. Long dwell times eventually shrank to shorter dwell times, which reduced total travel ...
Public transport use is actually higher for rostered shift workers at other destination types, but I suspect these are mostly not around-the-clock shifts (eg retail work), and are more likely to be lower paid jobs, where price sensitivity might contribute more to mode choice. Unfortunately the...
Relatively dense suburban employment clusters can deliver more knowledge-based jobs closer to people living in the outer suburbs. Sydney has many such clusters, and Melbourne is now aiming to develop “National Employment and Innovation Clusters” as part of the city’s land use strategy, Plan Mel...

If, for instance, the scheme were to achieve its aim of making life easier for commuters coming from outside Leeds, it might create jobs for people living in villages and other towns, but it is difficult to see how it would create ‘new local jobs along the route’ as people living in...
Given that women are involved in various different combinations of employment like flexible, part-time jobs, home-based enterprises etc., or in many incidences, not employed in paid positions, women travel less often in rush hour. In light of these facts, women's trips get distributed over ...
For females, those non-parenting generally worked in more jobs dense areas, compared to mums. This probably partly explains the lower public transport mode shares of mums. For males it was the reverse – dads generally worked in more jobs-dense locations. Overall was only a tiny difference ...
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...
