Transport

  • Thoughts on Brisbane Metro

    Brisbane’s busway network is a victim of its own success. The “Metro” project, while misleadingly named, is what’s possible as an incremental upgrade.

  • SEQ Rail: the next decades

    Cross River Rail will soon be completed.

  • Population and Transit Mapping

    When designing a public transport system we have a number of goals. We want to (equitably) provide as many people as possible with a basic level of service. But in order to move the greatest number of people (e.g. to substitute for as many car trips as possible) we want a network design and resource that focuses service on a frequent grid-like pattern.

  • Ferry extension up the Brisbane River

    Something that comes up occasionally on comment sections that I see is the idea of extending the CityCat upriver from UQ. I suspect it’s not justifiable for journeys to (or past) the city but it might be worthwhile for more local trips.

  • Fluvial — a transit patronage visualiser

    My local public transit authority, TransLink, releases origin-destination patronage data.

  • Transit Maps

    My favourite part of what graphic design I do is definitely the transit maps I draw.
