Stuff like this is why I'm insecure about parking outside of cages

Two bike loops can be seen attached to a concrete floor. To the right are some bolts secured into the concrete. Behind them are fences with a set of tracks and a station platform in the background. In the area between the fence are some rubbish on the ground with some undergrowth, along with a loose bike loop.

Must be annoying living near a timezone border with devices switching time back and forth.

A view from the bus window of a large marker next to a road intersection with the letters spelling out "BORDERTOWN". Behind the market are some trees and a street light.

The screen seems a bit off... (Original photo not mine, with apologies to theultrasheeplord, Ethel and family and Yarra Trams)

An image manipulated photo inside a tram looking towards two screens. On the left screen is a route information showing "109 Box Hill via Collins St" and the upcoming stops. On the right screen is a tabby cat on a bright green background. The tabby cat has a white neck and short legs and is the only animated feature of the photo, alternating between standing on its 4 legs, and rotating while the feet is tucked underneath its body. The green screen would also go through a few lighter shades of green while the cat is rotating. The top of a few people's heads can be seen at the bottom of the photo, along with some yellow bars and poles.

That crow seems pretty upset that someone's taken a wheel.

A crow sits on wheel of a blue and white bicycle missing a front wheel. The bike is secured to a bike loop located next to a car park which is fully occupied by cars. A bus can be seen beyond the car park.

With apologies to the photographer and Transit Systems

An image manipulated photo of a hydrogen city bus on a 4 lane road. A SITA livery with a white top, lighter orange bottom and darker orange line between the two has been superimposed on the bus with slightly black tinted windows. The destination board shows "Footscray Station 402". On the side of the bus is the phrase, "I'M A ZERO EMISSIONS BUS POWERED BY HYDROGEN" and a picture of a globe obscured by some clouds with a sun rising. Behind the bus is a road sign, lamp post, a green grassy strip and some trees.

I'm surprised they aren't running additional Frankston services with the HCMT sets undergoing tests. This is an inbound afternoon peak service.

One thing I missed about living in Brisbane is these signs that show which suburb I'm entering. Helps when I'm a bit lost

A sign on a black lamppost with the name "MILTON" on it. Below it is a placeholder for an unused sign. In the background is the city skyline to the right and some trees along the road behind the sign. Clouds can be seen on the blue sky.

The trains go fast on the Springfield line

Better not stop here or I'll be towed away

There was a few things I didn't quite like with it so I made a few improvements.

A rail network diagram showing the Werribee line between Newport and Millers Road with and underground track section coming from "Melbourne Metro 2" going underneath Newport to a station called "Newport 2" before joining up with the other tracks at "Newport West"

I wonder what happened at about close to 9.

A station platform with a row of people waiting for a train. Everyone is standing approximately a metre apart but has it occupied about two thirds of the platform. The station lighting can be seen against the backdrop of the night sky.

Inspired by the newly released design of the Tasmanian Devils AFL guernsey, what if each state and territory also get their own state/territory encompassing guernsey? Apologies to all those who feel disturbed by this.

A set of 8 guernseys each representing the 6 states and 2 territories of Australia, which are, from left to right and top to bottom, Tasmania, New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory. They are each in the colour schemes of each jurisdiction.

I wonder... could we build a second Sandringham platform here?

A screen capture of a map showing an aerial view of Sandringham station and the area surrounding it. Can be seen to the right of the Sandringham station building are 4 tracks. The two rightmost tracks are offset slightly further south and occupied by 2 trainsets of 6 carriage each. There is a pink line drawn to the right of the rightmost trainset.

Dammit I was told this has already opened

The 58 "Toorak Road" tram terminus

A tram sitting at a terminus tram stop situated between a road. In front of the tram stop is a set of traffic lights to allow for a pedestrian crossing. Above the tram tracks are wires hanging over the road. Cars appear to be passing the tram on both sides.In the background are some houses lining the road.

A rare Xtrapolis on platform 8

An above ground shot of a Melbourne Metro Xtrapolis sitting on platform 8A. Only 4 of the cars can be seen from the angle. In front of it is an island, two set of tracks and an additional switch track joining the tracks the train is sitting on roughly in the middle of the train. Behind the train is several more platforms and tracks of which a number of VLine Vlocity trains are sitting in. The station roof can be seen above the train.

Guess it's back, back from out of space.

A wall of screens showing train arrival and departure information between a train platform and trains going down. There are people walking up and down the stairs with a transparent yellow screen dividing the fare and non-fare areas.

I've been on Youtube Premium for years and has been enjoying the $9.99 rate on the grandfathered plan. But after they've gone after the adblockers and now trying to gorge the premium users, I think I might just jump ship. This is more than a 50% increase!

Poor little birb! Still sitting there in shock after crashing into a shop window...

The route 3a "Malvern East" terminus. Can't remember if I've ever been on the 3a so this might just potentially be the first and last time I'm on this route.

A tram parked at a terminus stop in the middle of the road just before an intersection. Rows of shops line both sides of the road.

The Chadstone shopping centre bus interchange seems to move every few years. Wish the 900 run more often than every half hour on Sundays though. There are no buses on Sundays where I'm going so this is better than nothing I guess. There's still another 20 min walk from here.

A route 900 Ventura bus parked at a bus stop in a bus interchange. A information totem is seen next to the bus. A canopy covers part of the bus interchange. A few trees line the background.

Like how these buses have a display at the back showing the departure time in minutes. Save the panic of running after these bus only for it to still not be leaving for another 5 minutes. Wish they run more than ever half hour on Sundays though.

A Ventura bus waiting at a bus stop. On the back of the bus is a display showing "Departs in 6 minutes". Behind it is an LED board showing the departure times of the next buses and trains. To the left is a brick pavement and a brick building. The the right, some cars parked at the side of the road, next to a number of trees lining the road

Hold up, what happened to all the destination screens?

A blank wall where a bank of TV screens used to be. A transparent orange screen to the right divides the stairs that goes down.

Obviously GM Holden needs to work with this company to start manufacturing the Commodores again.
