Thanks.

Advice received is that plan to do that, although they are still sorting out some issues.

If all goes well will be available at  http://app.griffith.edu.au/sciencesimpact/

I went to this, quite enjoyable, certainly very accessible (though with many, many 'nods and winks').

Interesting point: By the same measurement figures, 'bus subsidy' (per person per trip?) is $2.10, bike subsidy for the KGS centre is $2.30 and rail is over $8.

Counter-peak is critical, especially office development outside the CBD.

I missed this sadly.  Was per trip also shown as passenger kilometres?  The last data I saw on that had rail slightly better than bus, i.e. per kilometre rail is slightly cheaper than bus, would expect that.  The other thing is that infrastructure costs need careful handling. Rarely included for bus but is for rail.

Bus trips are generally much shorter than rail.

Yo, counter peak needs work, all modes.
