Railway history map
The expansion - and, sadly, the subsequent contraction - of the railway system in Victoria
Where can I go?
How far can I go by public transport in Melbourne in 45 minutes, if I set off now?
Melbourne native trees
Where are the native trees in the City of Melbourne? And why aren't there more of them?
Animated public transport
A day in the life of Melbourne's public transport. OK, it's essentially a toy (and needs good connection speed to work well), but I think it's fun.
Melbourne’s transport-rich and transport-poor areas
Inspired by Daniel Bowen’s review of service levels at Melbourne’s rail stations, I wanted to compare numbers of train, tram and bus departures across Melbourne as a whole. This map draws on Public Transport Victoria’s timetables in GTFS format, showing total number of train, tram and bus departures on a representative weekday (17 April 2019). […]

Found that if we moved from this (showing current bus […]

And I’ve added swing controls so you can model a swing to the ALP or the Coalition and watch the seats change hands. Mouse over electorate for details: Electorate (State) Member (Party) […]
