    PUBLIC TRANSPORT PARTNERSHIPS An Overview of Passenger Rail Franchising in Victoria March 2005 Department of Infrastructure PUBLIC TRANSPORT PARTNERSHIPS An Overview of Passenger Rail Franchising in Victoria March 2005 Public Transport Division Department of Infrastructure © State of Victoria 2005 Published by Public Transport Division Department of Infrastructure 80 Collins Street, Melbourne March 2005 www.doi.vic.gov.au This publication is copyright. No part may be reproduced by any process except in accordance with the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968. Authorised by the Victorian Government, 80 Collins Street, Melbourne. Minister’s Foreword In February 2004, after the failure of the original privatisation framework, the Victorian Government entered into new franchise agreements with Melbourne’s public transport companies, Yarra Trams and Connex. These partnership agreements find the balance between government support for public transport in Melbourne and the operational expertise provided by experienced private rail operators. Almost one year on, the new arrangements are running smoothly, providing stability across the public transport system and giving a solid foundation for a range of improvements in service delivery. Some of the other benefits to passengers that stem from these agreements include: • Additional front-line customer service staff; • Increased security patrols; • Improved driver training programs; • All night New Year’s Eve services; • Additional rolling stock; and • Improved standards for the upkeep of transport facilities. The key themes of this summary report include the background to the failure of the original contracts, the renegotiations, the nature of the new partnership agreements and the challenges of the refranchising process. You can obtain the latest information about Melbourne’s public transport by visiting www.doi.vic.gov.au/transport I commend this report to you.
  • Site Analysis

    Site Analysis

    SITE ANALYSIS Site location + local context The Haymarket takes its name from the local neighbourhood. It sits entirely within an urban context and is bounded by the Pier Street flyover to the north, Harbour and Hay Streets, mixed, low-level commercial streets to the east and south respectively, and the light rail corridor to the west. The site is currently occupied by the Sydney Entertainment Centre in the east and a large multi-storey car park to the west. The raised Sydney monorail, which runs along its western, southern and eastern perimeter and includes the Paddy’s Market station, is to be closed and dismantled in June 2013. The local streets provide good connections into the city and university precincts and wider connections to Central Station. Connectivity to the west has historically been poor, after the introduction of a goods line segregated Ultimo and Pyrmont from the city. Pedestrian access is limited to the heavily trafficked Pier Street with stairs and ramps providing access to grade, and a footbridge from the Powerhouse Museum crossing Darling Drive and connecting with Paddy’s Market monorail station on the south- west corner of the site. SHFA is managing the creation of a new pedestrian corridor called the Goods Line (formerly known as the Ultimo Pedestrian Network or UPN). This project seeks to turn a disused goods line into a linear park supporting a range of activities – similar to the High Line in New York. This new corridor will land at the south-western corner of the site. The existing facilities to the north of the site within SICEEP will be redeveloped in a programme of regeneration to be completed by 2016.

    Monorail & Light Rail

    2013 SYDNEY MONORAIL & LIGHT RAIL Advertising Media Kit Sydney Monorail and Metro Light Rail are unique transportation networks connecting Sydney’s key leisure, retail and dining precincts with surrounding transportation hubs and inner city residential areas. Advertising in these unique environments not only offers advertisers high-reach and frequency opportunities to broadcast their message to workers, tourists, shoppers and residents – they also offer a unique level of consumer engagement. Vehicle Liveries deliver an unavoidable message to passengers, pedestrian and vehicle traffic. While with Station Advertising, consumers have plenty of time to read, consider and take in your message with an average waiting time of three minutes on Sydney Monorail and ten minutes on Metro Light Rail stations. © Metro Transport Sydney Pty Ltd 2012 ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITIES Why outdoor (or out of home) advertising? In today’s busy and fast–paced life, Outdoor is perfect for reaching people on the go and reaches audiences that other media find hard and cost–prohibitive to reach. For consumers there is no avoiding Outdoor; it is free and cannot be turned off. Outdoor is about delivering impact and awareness – it captures ‘share of mind’ and produces measurable results. No other media can match the impact and reach against the investment. Outdoor advertising at its best achieves direct GLOBAL FINDINGS ACROSS MEDIA Revenue communication with consumers ROI • Where they live, work, and play • Where they drive and shop • Where they commute, and E • Where they

    Investigation of the Relationship Between Transit Network Structure and the Network Effect – the Toronto & Melbourne Experience

    INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TRANSIT NETWORK STRUCTURE AND THE NETWORK EFFECT – THE TORONTO & MELBOURNE EXPERIENCE By Karen Frances Woo A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science Department of Civil Engineering University of Toronto © Copyright by Karen Frances Woo 2009 Investigation of the Relationship between Transit Network Structure and the Network Effect – The Toronto & Melbourne Experience Karen Frances Woo Master of Applied Science Department of Civil Engineering University of Toronto 2009 Abstract The main objective of this study was to quantitatively explore the connection between network structure and network effect and its impact on transit usage as seen through the real-world experience of the Toronto and Melbourne transit systems. In this study, the comparison of ridership/capita and mode split data showed that Toronto’s TTC has better performance for the annual data of 1999/2001 and 2006. After systematically investigating travel behaviour, mode choice factors and the various evidence of the network effect, it was found that certain socio-economic, demographic, trip and other design factors in combination with the network effect influence the better transit patronage in Toronto over Melbourne. Overall, this comparative study identified differences that are possible explanatory variables for Toronto’s better transit usage as well as areas where these two cities and their transit systems could learn from one another for both short and long term transit planning and design. ii Acknowledgments This thesis and research would not have been possible without the help and assistance of many people for which much thanks is due.

Underpinned by policy that supports greater public transport use, reform was driven by three major government programs; SmartBus, minimum standards upgrades and local area service reviews. This paper briefly compares the distribution of each service initiative. Minimum standards upgrades were most widespread, benefiting many middle and outer suburbs. Middle suburbs gained most from SmartBus, especially the City of Manningham where it operates on city as well as orbital routes. And the service reviews were most influential in fringe areas to the west, north and south east.

    -2- No. 168 May - June 2021 EDITORIAL Welcome to another edition of Sparks. Some of the most important recent news in the NSW Railways was the overwhelming vote in a management organised ballot about varying existing EBA's, against the NSW Govt's Public Sector Wage Freeze associated 0.3% p.a. wage rise in Sydney Trains and NSW Sparks Trains. However there have been no moves by the RTBU hierarchy to wage an industrial campaign to defeat the wage freeze such as the holding of union mass meetings and the development of a log of claims. In this edition of Sparks we are presenting some ideas to get THE RANK-AND-FILE TRANSPORT WORKERS’ PAPER the campaign rolling such as some proposals for a log of claims. With the end of the holiday period and the COVID-19 pandemic lock downs and restrictions, sectors of business are desperate to re-coop profits so a favourable period exists for an industrial campaign. (See IT’S TIME TO MELT GLADY’S WAGE article page 3.)
