Must admit that when I woke up at 2am with my window shaking, I thought it would be a plane. So I went to flight radar, and couldn't see anything so just thought it was strong wind. Turns out it was the #Leongatha #earthquake #Melbourne 🤔

![Reliability [14, 23, 51] and frequency [23, 51] are attrib-
utes with a strong impact on PT demand. If the PT has
a low frequency or requires multiple transfers, the PT
system fails to attract new users, and a mode shift from
PT to private car can occur [6]. The Mohring effect,
coined by the economist Herbert Mohring, posits that
an increase in PT users leads to higher frequency, which
leads to more passengers. Conversely, a decrease in PT
users leads to a lower frequency, which leads to fewer
passengers [32]. Moreover, prices [51] and travel time
[40, 51] also affect the PT demand. The effect that price
changes have on demand is strongly influenced by other
PT attributes such as frequency, travel time and access.
Price changes can lead to an initial increase in demand,
but the duration of the effect is affected by the quality
attributes of PT [51].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:x52kedh6ykzctkbh7anybn6n/bafkreifnuph57jyjrg72vun67eampuhkzgjm2hkntewr4n4cqwfq3337rq)
