Take a day trip from Miami to Key West, the southernmost city in the United States, without renting a car or having to drive. I also hope that Jarrett continues to make these points and get the message out there.Switch Fortune Street-Esque Billion Road Coming to Switch in March 2020īy Neal Ronaghan - December 17, 2019, 7:08 pm PSTįirst trailer shows off the localized version of the Japan-inspired Monopoly-like game.īillion Road is a board game video game that looks akin to Monopoly or Fortune Street at a glance and it is coming to Switch in March 2020. Latent demand is out there and I really hope it can be sparked by similar investment in Manchester and elsewhere. We (and I say we because I worked for LT for many years) led demand rather than followed it to the point where we grew usage to a hopefully self sustaining level. Crucially the frequency improvements kick started the ridership growth such that London Transport now accounts for over half of all bus and train journeys in the UK. The bus route from Whitechapel to Bow was every 15 minutes in the mid 1990’s from 8pm until midnight and is now every 4 minutes. In the mid 1980’s the Bakerloo Sunday service was every 10 minutes – now it is every 3-4 minutes. Nobody could claim the operating investment in the tube which we self-funded from the mid 1990’s onwards and the bus improvements in the early 2000’s funded by government grant have not been a huge success. I’ve learned a lot over the years!Ĭhris, we are very lucky in London although our operating grant is being removed entirely in 2018. While you aren’t usually talking about contexts like the one I live in, the way you make your case from fundamental principles makes them interesting and relevant despite that. In a few years time we should be allowed to operate a London style franchised system, so hopefully then we won’t have to look to London’s system with such envy.Īs an international reader I’d just like to thank you for this blog Jarrett. I’m now Manchester based, a city where the absurd effects of 1980s bus privatisation still prevent the development of a sensible bus network designed around frequency or integration. It’ll be interesting to see in the future just how many such frequent services can be fitted onto London’s existing suburban rail network, which certainly seems like a network that could benefit from the kind of approach Jarrett advocates. The tube and bus has always been very frequent by most standards it’s the heavy rail network (particularly Overground) that seems to me to have benefitted most from a move towards a concentration on regular predictable services. Per Capita Readership of Human Transit Blog, year ending 28 March 2016 Hey, if you read this blog in Trinidad and Tobago, say hi! I don’t know who you are yet! New Zealand has led these rankings for years, but Iceland’s population is so small that it wasn’t hard for it to take first place once I started working there last year.Īmong developing countries, Malaysia just grazes the top 20 and the highest-ranking is Trinidad and Tobago, though given the small population, that could have been one avid reader checking every post. (The last two are also countries I’ve lived in.) In per-capita readership over the last year, the US ranks fifth, after four other countries that I’ve worked in extensively: Iceland, New Zealand, Canada, and Australia. While I live in the US now, we’ve always had an international readership, and I’m happy to say that this is more true that ever, as you can see in the table below.
