expedtadam @expedtadam.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The weekend patronage fall-off hits the outer Werribee Line harder than most parts of the Metropolitan network, and I think I know why. No expresses. 140
expedtadam @expedtadam.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Last week, I rode the recently extended 194 buses from Werribee to Wyndham Vale, and what jumped out at me was the stop spacing: gaps between stops were large, much larger than I was used to seeing in my area. But it got me thinking which route has the closest stops? (1/3) 110

expedtadam @expedtadam.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Across many major metropolitan areas in the USA, often there is one direction which is considered "favoured quarter". In Atlanta this is the North, where a disproportionate amount of wealth and opportunity is concentrated. But do we see this pattern in Australia? 1/3 130
expedtadam @expedtadam.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Bus 333 is Sydney's busiest route. It also happens to be one of the easiest numbers to remember. I checked whether Melbourne's most important buses have equally memorable numbers to answer the question: Should we renumber Melbourne’s bus network? open.substack.com/pub/adambain... 150
