You might notice some extra information on Google Maps. That’s because we’ve integrated RideSpace data into it, which means you can track your train as it approaches and see how busy it is before you board. This will give everyone more confidence to travel on public transport.

Travelling on the public transport network this weekend? Do the right thing - check-in, scan your myki, wear a mask and keep a safe social distance. Have a great weekend.

We’re putting explicit teaching at the core of teaching and learning. And don’t take explicit teaching to mean strict or simple methods. It’s the opposite: sophisticated, inclusive, highly interactive techniques and interventions. Teachers do a tough job and I stand with them.

A less stressful, active and Covid-safe commute to work today for @bicycle_network ’s #RideToWork Day. 🚴‍♂️ Cycling is a great way to keep active, and get outside whilst maintaining a social distance. #GetPedalling

Our @VicGovDTP is planning a new style of bus network with higher frequency and better connections to give more freedom and choice. Unscrambling bus routes to make them more direct means journeys will be faster, more frequent and more reliable. More at

Farewell Tessy the wonder dog. The best mini “mini” schnauzer we could ever have hoped for - a determined little character with the sweetest temperament. Loved walks, sniffing everything, barking at the doorbell and persuading us to take her everywhere. 15 of the best years. 💔

If you’ve left your mask at home when you’re on PT on the way to the footy, we’ve got your back! We’re handing out masks at key tram stops on the way to the MCG and Marvel Stadium ahead of this weekend’s matches. Thanks to the @yarratrams team for working to keep everyone safe.

President @JoeBiden has truly elevated the transport portfolio under @PeteButtigieg who is bringing a mayor’s perspective to the role. An invaluable 30 minute discussion with transport policy experts @JSadikKhan from New York and Phil Washington from LA. Tune in at 1:42.

Transportation policy is economic policy. It's environmental policy. It's equity policy. It's about access—to healthcare, schools, jobs & opportunities. Watch my conversation with @SecretaryPete & Phil Washington on transportation & the recovery (@ 1:42)

99 E-Class trams delivered! Tram 6099 made its maiden voyage yesterday & is the latest modern, accessible, Victorian-built tram to enter the network. The 100th E-Class will enter the network later this year, but until then 6099 has the honour of being the newest tram in Melb!

Thank you. The construction of a nine-kilometre pop-up bike route along Heidelberg Road will help fill gaps in the network across Merri Creek and improve connections from Alexandra Parade in Collingwood to Wingrove Street in Fairfield. 🚴‍♂️

Update from Heidelberg Rd pop-up protected bike lanes. Not quite finished yet but they already make an amazing difference. 👍 Big thumbs up to @BenCarrollMP and @VicGovDoT ! Can't wait to see the full 100 km of pop-up lanes rolled out (Sydney Rd if you're after suggestions 😁).
