... aaaand we all had to get off the tram and walk. Never mind, it was only a block away from my apartment.

I'm on a tram and the driver has just tried turning it off and on again.

A Department for #Transport study explored why people choose multi-modal journeys combining #buses, #trains, or #trams. Research with 67 participants (online, interviews, focus groups) found #travel choices are mainly influenced by convenience, cost, comfort, and safety, while #sustainability rarely affects local trips. Barriers include unreliable services, poorly aligned timetables, high planning effort, and unclear real-time information. Enablers include frequent services and contactless payments. Key measures to encourage use are better timetabling, lower fares, and unified travel information, with integrated ticketing and improved interchanges as supporting factors.

This page from a qualitative research report on multi-modal transport outlines Stage 2 and Stage 3 focus groups conducted in Bristol, West Chester, South Norfolk, and London, noting that private transport accounts for only 35% of trips in London compared to 65% across the rest of England.

This image shows a page from a qualitative research report on multi-modal public transport, detailing enablers such as driving inconveniences and fare capping in London, alongside comfort-related barriers like walking between transfers in poor weather.

A report page titled "Multi-modal public transport and operational changes" featuring a table and a diagram (Figure 5) that illustrate how increasing bus frequency, extending service times, and aligning bus and train schedules can address various passenger barriers such as long wait times, stress, and lack of physical connection at stations.

Bring back Wellington trams!

Catching up on some older #NotJustBikes videos... This one was thoroughly depressing. Pleasant that I live in a place where public transport is pretty good, but depressing to see... well, the power of conservatism, I suppose. The whole #fediverse vs #BigTech is just another example of this.

@Elizafox @notjustbikes OFC dedicaded routes are better and the only good excuse for #Trams is when you want to cover high volumes of commuters in a dense urban area with dedicaded lanes but can't demolish roads and install big stations but need to provide more capacity than you can serve with all the buses you have.

That's why only big cities like #Köln and #Düsseldorf run #Tram networks and even they try to move them underground because surface traffic - notably cars - are the prime pain point for smooth operations. Don't as a #KVB employee about how many times they have assholes block intersections during a red light, preventing their bus or tram to drive...

And whilst I'd love to see the "Line O" linking Opladen with Deutz, everyone can agree that for those that need to take that trip end-to-end the RB48 & RE7 are superior alternatives in service and those that need to get on or off at one of the places that line stopped the Bus Line 250 will be sufficient.

Seriously, the #FinchWestLRT in #Toronto looks like if someone played #CitiesSkylines in real life and merely chose to "convert road" with the one 6-lane #Stroad design that has #Trams on then as soon as they unlock Trams...

For real...

Ever wondered how the South #London #Trams and DLR branding evolved? I’ve mapped out their visual journey from the early days of "Docklands" and "Tramlink" to the modern unified #TfL roundels we see today.

Which era of the design is your favourite? 🚈🚃

Zürich #trams 🥺

Zürich Tram Line 9 (the dark blue line) to Heuried at its Stop 'Paradeplatz'. The tram car has the number 2109 in the front, a little enblem of the canton below the drivers window above its single white front light. Small yellow cards mark this tram car as the number 4 on this particular line. The type of the car is a VZB Be4/8, also called the 'Sänfte' Style of the 'Tram 2000'.

On the tram home today we met some Polish visitors travelling with their Aussie grandson. They didn't speak much English, but we had a brief chat and I said "Do widzenia" on the way out at our stop. Nice to have these brief exchanges on PT sometimes, spread a little friendliness.

I do like it when a tram trundles by (I'm sitting in a Brunswick Street cafe). The world is disastrous in many ways but trams exist, so we must be doing something right.

A tram marked with the number 15 is seen approaching on a snowy street at dusk. Surrounding elements include overhead wires, a dimly lit building, and snow-covered ground.

@notjustbikes after riding the South Yorkshire Supertram, I'm wondering if the slow acceleration could be because TTC doesn't want announcements like the Supertram's "This is ... This is a tram to ... (chime, doors close) Please hold on!" and they aren't kidding: that acceleration makes people fall over quite easily. Online info claims 1.3m/s² on the Siemens Duewag trams, slightly more than Amsterdam's CAF Urbos. I didn't find a published figure for TTC's Citadis Spirit.

I see the NSW Transport site has caught up with the opening of the new Sydney Fish Market, and the renaming of the old Fish Market tram stop. Google Maps still needs to catch up though.

The depot closed in 1966, and a modern plaque in the shape of an old tram ticket tells its history and details its conversion into housing in 2017.

Remnants of the Govan Tram Depot on Brand Street in the Cessnock area of Glasgow. Opened in 1915, the castle-like red sandstone building on the corner with Harvie Street functioned as the office block, while the entrance to what was once the tram yard and sheds is still marked by a sculpted GCT monogram (Glasgow Corporation Tramways) on an old gate post.
