Last train from the airport is at 10pm? What kind of backwater is Brisbane?

Melbourne Show is opting to avoid human artists for their billboards.

I can't say I agree with their decision. These people look dead on the inside.

Live public transport data is still a struggle for Victoria.

Departure board for Sunshine showing the live arrival times for 3.01 (5 min) and 3.21 (24 min) services. Detailed view of 3.01 service. Top line reads: Cancelled.

And now the next service is apparently already underway having not arrived at the first stop yet.

What is the point of a live tracking system that is so unreliable?

Why aren't we notified when a service is cancelled?

Where is the acceptability?

I think it's running a different route. (3/4)

Welp, looks like it's going in the wrong direction.

My experience trying to catch the high frequency (10min headways) Route 402 bus from Footscray today. (1/4)

If this bus arrives in 1min, I'll eat my hat.
