Talk:Transport in Melbourne

message: A bit odd that this article's sole image is of a ferry on the Yarra, however there is no mention of these in the text.  I'm not sure whether the image is misplaced or whether the article is just short on information.  Also, perhaps some mention of Melbourne's extensive (compared to other Australian cities, at least) bicycle path network might be worthwhile.  Just some random thoughts. --ozzmosis 13:51, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed policy on public transport 

message: Amid the recent controversy surrounding taxis in Melbourne I think it is necessary to mention it somewhere. Is this the right place to mention it - its just that I dont see any other outright controversies in this article? While I'm on the subject, I think a whole separate Transport controversies in Melbourne article should be created to cover all forms of transport. Davido321 (talk) 10:57, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia:Recentism might be worth taking into consideration. Dunno about any consensus about controversies though - pretty much anything and everything these days has at least some people complaining about it in the newspaper. Wongm (talk) 14:50, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

message: One of the tables has data based on a Melbourne City Council survey.  I don't think that this is a real representation because it is not official figures.  --Biatch (talk) 01:44, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

message: It needs to be completely deleted and started again. Who ever wrote this obviously can't speak proper English. Besides, it doesn't really need to be that extensive. Most of the information contained within the section belongs in the main article about Melbourne 2030 and not in the transport in Melbourne article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.214.33.121 (talk) 02:37, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have removed the entire section. To me, it seemed unclear as to what it was trying to convey, readed like an essay and took attention away from the more informative sections on the various transport modes by pushing them way down the page. invincible (talk) 16:40, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Melbourne 2030 section is a mess 

message: I'm not sure if this article and its position at the top of the page is an appropriate location for a timeline of the history of Transport in Melbourne. That aside, it suffers from a huge problem in that it lacks sources and is heavily weighted towards recent events. I think all the information inside that section could be integrated with their relevant subsections in this article or on their own articles but that is quite a task and I'm not too sure what to do at the moment. I'll move it to the bottom because I definitely don't think that someone coming to this article wants to read a lengthy history of all transport in Melbourne (with some points going down to the level of trivia) ahead of the summaries of the various types of transport. There's also a fair chance that such a lengthy compilation of events might be a copyright violation, since it would take quite some time to gather all those facts. invincible (talk) 16:48, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

message: The Public Transport Pricing Section needs to be updated. It still lists the old standard fares from before the 29th of December 2012 (Metcard Fares) Maybe copy the fares table from the Wikipedia page for Myki? WU00110154 (talk) 08:52, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
