Innovation without ethical purpose is merely novelty, or worse.

Here's a thought. Lets put all the talk of MaaS and automation on one side until we have a reasonable number of rail carriages moving commuters in the morning peak to a timetable that works. I'm pretty sure the 80 odd standing people here would riot in a smart mobility conference

Indeed. Why spend $15bn on an express only accessible from 2 stations when we could have a direct train to the airport accessible from 38 stations!

Advocates are concerned this #AirportRail debate is being framed as a series of false dilemmas. Most popular airport rail lines around the world are not point-to-point expresses. The combination of RRL and MM1 buys us time to start services while planning a long term solution.

Why spend $15bn for a one-seat airport ride accessible from only two stations, with only in the central city, when we could have the same thing accessible from 38 stations, with 5 in the central city? theage.com.au/national/victo…

Ask Australians if they’d prefer the fastest option and of course they’ll say yes every time. They’re not thinking about the ratio of benefits to costs; and most will rarely use the line anyway theage.com.au/victoria/skip-…

It’s purely commercial. If it became known that AVs were programmed with utilitarian ethics, that is, to behave in ways that benefited the greatest number of people, no-one would use them.

Isn’t there the option of putting the project out to tender and seeing how the market responds? Why does it have to be either an un-solicited private bid or something something else? We need more discussion about something something else here!

The Morrison government is considering ditching an airport rail tunnel in favour of a state government plan for an above-ground track in order to get the multibillion-dollar project done.

Perhaps we could have some attention to the factors that currently deter people from walking and cycling before reinventing the wheel?

E-scooters should be legal on roads but permitting them on footpaths and shared paths requires a lot more consideration theage.com.au/victoria/racv-…

You don’t think the likes of Transurban do comprehensive planning before they make their bids, direct their investments, lobby for what’s good for their shareholders?

Come to RMIT’s Storey Hall today at 5:30 for an expert panel discussion on the legacy of Melbourne’s 1969 Transportation Plan! mobile.abc.net.au/news/2019-…

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results. Melbourne, still building mega roads, expecting congestion to get better. theconversation.com/were-sti…

We need a comprehensive metropolitan transport plan based on mode share targets linked to GHG reduction targets, that also meets minimum levels of service to guarantee adequate social inclusion. Model that, and put it to a vote!

Great initiative; there’s not enough review of previous plan performance in the development of new strategic plans: this applies to land use plans as well as transport plans.

Level crossing removals in Tokyo making the most of the new spaces created beneath the viaducts. A very different model of land use and transport integration and different values around public open space, poses many fascinating questions for Australia.
