@straphanger@urbanists.social The US and Commonwealth countries really need to start looking closely at how countries like France and Spain deliver infrastructure. Gutting the public service hasn't worked. You need strong public sector design and project management expertise, not an army of cons...
MYKI Inspectors on trams might catch a few people. If they got on the bus I’m on, they would catch 90% of passengers.
According to https://transport.vic.gov.au/disruptions/disruptions-information there's planned works on Sunbury, Werribee and Williamstown lines.
Well isn't that just dandy: the #PTV app won't let you go back once you're looking at a bus route's stopping pattern if you also use #VoiceOver.
You can't two-finger scrub to go back, because fuck letting the system manage app state, or implementing accessibility. And the back button is hidden to VO, seemingly because the stopping pattern is shown in a floating sheet over a map, and the back button is below the sheet.
Only workaround I've found is to turn on screen recognition, double-tap and hold then drag down on the sheet title (which reveals the map), turn off screen recognition, then swipe or hover to find the back button.
Gods I love #accessibility. [tired]
Wanted to reality-check an email I received today and had to type in "transport".vic.gov.au for the first time, after years of "ptv".vic.gov.au
I'm not sure why the branding change, but it's impressive that the new name is six characters longer than the old but has somehow lost the "public". The site even looks stark and cheerless, yet doesn't work any better.
Tell us you don't care without telling us you don't care.
Oh wait, now I have more gripes ...

You can keep track of a few Myki card balances using Rhyno’s widgets.
Set and forget, then watch your balance tick over during the week as you travel.
