Don't miss your train on a Sunday morning - you wait up to 40 minutes for the next one on the Sandringham, Sunbury, Craigieburn, Upfield, Mernda and Hurstbridge lines.
Completely inadequate for a city of 5 million. #Melbourne #MoreServicesPlease

On Sunday mornings until about 10am, much of Melbourne has the least frequent suburban trains in Australia.
The State Government is dragging its heels on public transport service investment. Simply not good enough for a city of 5 million. #MoreServicesPlease

Want to catch a Sunday morning train in Melbourne? You'd better hope the timetable matches your plans... or it might be easier to drive☹️
Want to catch a Sunday morning train in Sydney? No problem, every line runs every 10-15 minutes.

Dandenong corridor passengers forced to change at Caulfield for CBD trains today. Carlton plays North Melbourne at the G (ONLY 40-50k crowd).
By the time we reached Armadale passengers left on the platform. This will be the norm with #MM1
Better planning required by PTV & Metro #MoreServicesPlease

We've been highlighting the problems of long waits for public transport, and now the State Government is listening.
Later this year the Upfield and Craigieburn lines' 30 and 40 minute waits will be reduced to 20 minutes.👍
A great start towards a more usable system - more please!

It's the weekend, and people have places to go. But hourly suburban buses in many areas of #Melbourne mean that public transport isn't a viable option for most people. (And it's even worse in regional Victoria) #MoreServicesPlease

The State Govt's plan to concentrate new #Melbourne housing around railway stations makes a lot of sense - but with gaps of up to 40 minutes between trains, and buses even worse, car dependence will still be an issue unless more frequent services are provided. #MoreServicesPlease

Metro train frequencies overnight on New Years Eve shows that Melbourne the infrastructure and the rolling stock to handle the all-day all-week train service a city of 5 million actually needs.
(except Upfield line where duplication would help a lot)

🚏🚌 Great to see politicians paying attention to buses - the only public transport in a lot of areas of Melbourne and Victoria. The evidence from past upgrades is clear: better bus services will get more people on board. #MoreServicesPlease

Residents in Tarneit and many other suburbs have bus services that are completely inadequate.

Most people don't want to live their lives by timetables. More train services = less waiting time, better connections, and makes public transport a better more viable alternative to driving. #MoreServicesPlease

Growing suburbs desperately need more public transport services.
Ideally, good public transport is provided as residents move in, but it's never too late - and past investments show that service upgrades do get people on board. #MoreServicesPlease

Melbourne is growing fast, but on the fringes, public transport isn't
Melbourne's population continues to grow, but there are growing calls for services such as public transport to be expanded to match the boom.

It's not even 9pm, and on one of Melbourne's busiest bus routes, the last service has already departed.
And not just this route. For many suburbs across our city, public transport has stopped for the night.

Standing room only on the 20 minute frequencies at 10pm on a Thursday. And this is the busiest train line on the network. Other lines have much worse frequency.
Unacceptable for a city of 5 million. No wonder people drive.

The cheaper fares are welcome, but V/Line is now struggling to cope with demand. Consistent use of 6-car trains, and more train services - especially on weekends - are needed to keep up with growing passenger numbers.

I still don’t understand why city trains don’t depart from P2 for seamless interchange
With free fares coming for April, things will only get worse
