A warm welcome to those seeing Melbourne on Transit for the first time due to The Age article examining Melbourne's public transport service levels over time.
If you'd like to learn more about these trends, including viewing some tables and graphs, then please head over to PT service levels - Are we better served now?
Once done there browse the rest of this blog, which has items going back nearly 20 years. If you live on a quirky bus route the chances are I'll have written somewhere about it - the search function could be useful.
At other times I describe public transport services in an area and examine how they might be improved, with an emphasis on cost-effective bus upgrades. You'll also find profiles of various transport ministers, reporting on state budgets, examinations of hour other cities do transport planning and much more.
If maps are more your thing, you might like the Frequent Network Maps for Melbourne's public transport. These show you which areas get the best service on various days of the week and times of day. This is handy for anyone from home hunters to demographers in examining the differences in transport service across Melbourne's suburbs.
Also, while less prolific than this blog, I also have a small YouTube channel with nearly 100 videos on various aspects of public transport in Melbourne.
Finally, for a bit of fun enjoy this Public Transport marketing ads video playlist and the recent '40 minute city' Metro Tunnel April Fools gag that apparently got a few people.

I think I may have read the first couple of lines of your April Fools Joke and not picked up that it was just that. I really don't know how I missed it. A search of YouTube for the name of your blog gave me nothing. What is the address please? I will guess I will already be subscribed.
Your name cropped up in public media yesterday, or the day before regarding buses.
Andrew - typing melbourneontransit (one word) on YouTube gets it. Also in the links section (easier to find if viewing on a PC).
