Rodney 🚧🚇I missed two bus transfers by a minute, adding 30 mins to my trip which is now totaling to 4 hours from Waterloo to Thornhill 😭😭 #FrequencyIsFreedom
Katherine CopseyFrequency is freedom. For people to have a genuine alternative to driving, they need public transport that will take them where they want to go, at every time of day and on every day of the week. It’s time Labor got serious about bus reform and providing trains at off-peak times

Brent ToderianNEW STUDY: What matters more for public transit ridership? Frequency or coverage? No surprise— “We find that both factors are strong predictors of transit ridership, with service frequency having a larger impact.”
Plan resources accordingly. #FrequencyIsFreedom www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Daniel BowenMe feeling pretty chill because my train home runs every ten minutes, so I won’t have long to wait no matter what time I finish looking at the Pharaohs exhibition.

David JašaLike right now, 8 minute wait at the connection point means that I'm comfortably able to walk 3/4 of my second transit leg before my tram catches up with me.
Had I checked before boarding, I would have seriously considered walking the whole way, because with 10min intervals, I'm already getting the same door-to-door speed.
Cutting the farebox income would mean headways lengthening to 20-30 min, longer than my entire commute on foot (!).

Jonathan EmmesediWhen it comes to transit, frequency is freedom.
>>...if you live in a single family house with a driveway and usually get around by car, imagine that there were an automated gate at the end of your driveway that only opened once an hour, on the hour. When it’s closed, you can’t get your car in or out. If that were your situation, your biggest transportation problem would not be traffic congestion, or how fast you can go on the freeway; it would be how to get this frigging gate to open more often. That’s how low frequency feels to a potential transit customer, and why frequency often swamps other factors, like speed, in determining whether transit is actually useful.<<

For a while I’ve wanted to synthesize some material that’s scattered through my book (and more recent work) but that needs to be presented more directly. It’s long, but there are handy section dividers along the way, and pictures near the end. Contents The Ridership/Coverage Tradeoff Frequency Matters Diversity, Not Specialization But wait, I thought […]
Ben LeverHeading down to Melb for a noon meeting today. Being a Saturday, the Ballarat line runs hourly, so my options were to arrive 10mins late or 50mins early. But it's Grand Final Day, and they've slotted in some extra trains, so now I can arrive 10mins early! We need this every week #FrequencyIsFreedom
