My guest this week is Corinne Mulley, who has been researching transport for over 50 years.She is especially interested in using the tax system to find new ways of financing public transport: property value uplift or road pricing.She's Professor Emerita at the University of Sydney and was the inaugural Chair of Public Transport at their Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies.

In regard to the Coronavirus, we must be totally committed to limiting travel and washing hands and so on. But some people will still have to travel. Is there still a role for public transport? And if so, what are or should the service providers be doing? Yale Wong is from the Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies at Sydney University. He has been looking at this situation around the world.

‘Climate Emergency' has been declared in Sydney by Lord Mayor Clover Moore, following 600 similar declarations worldwide. City of Sydney Councillor and Deputy Chair of the Environment Committee Jess Miller joins us to discuss climate futures in Sydney and Australia. Later, transport in Sydney is a constant cause for complaint, but recent shakeups and innovations seem to be inching us forward. Transportist David Levinson, an Honorary Associate at the Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies at Sydney University, joins us to talk about the state of transport in Sydney.

Concerns about exacerbating congestion and crowded transport systems in our city with continuing population growth is now a popular issue. The need for fast trains between major cities and regional areas in Australia has been suggested for a long while, to spread the population away from our capital cities. It now seems as though it is the politically right time to dust off the proposals – IN the recent Victorian state election one party promised to upgrade all of the rail system including four fast lines and some people and organisations in NSW, which will have a state election in March 2019, have raised the idea for fast trains from Sydney to at least Newcastle and Wollongong. It is important to note that FAST trains are not the super express trains we see in Japan, China France or Spain. Professor David Hensher the founding director of the Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies at Sydney University said: And I think it's a big challenge that the NSW Government is very interested in, is how can we build a railway between Newcastle and Sydney that takes only one hour and which means traveling at about 150 kilometers an hour. It's not high speed rail but it does require major upgrade of the existing track which in some cases may mean new alignment. We know the government is interested in that and I think it's got to be linked back to taking pressure off Sydney. In an address to the Institute of Transport Engineers in Victoria, John Reid whose company Austraffic collects and compiles transport data, said that considering the impact of new technology is not just about “mechanizing, computerising or robotising what we do at the moment”. Its about what will change and how we can foster new patterns of behavior to produce more livable cities. Fast trains are not just about reducing the travel times for existing travelers. There about enhancing city and regional areas. A recent report titled Building Up and Moving Out, from the federal Standing Committee on Infrastructure, Transport and Cities recommended high-speed rail between cities and regions, with the east coast to be given priority and spoke of the London Effect. Planning expert Bob Meyer has looked closely at Milton Keynes a major UK example and in the podcast speaks about his experiences. While we might condemn the media for oversimplifying the issues much of our computer modelling of transport fails to take into account how many things will change with new transport including some land-use patterns which was part of the discussion with transport planner Chris Stapleton in our other podcast Computer modelling for transport planning. Beyond technicalities to practical applications. The usual discussion in the press about these trains is to serve the journey-to-work. But it is important to understand that an improved transport system is not just to turn regional towns into dormitory suburbs of a major capital city. There will be a significant amount of commuter travelling but it is not just in the typical peak direction of into the major city in the morning and out again in the afternoon. Planning is not just about setting the rules its about consumer choice and what the market will pursue. Fast trains should not be promoted because with have a romantic vision of railways or that they have worked in the past, they will evolve as part of the solution to our plan for vibrant regional areas.

Professor Michiel Bliemer from the University of Sydney’s Institute of Transport & Logistics Studies talks about the need for a road user pay tax as a policy initiative in order to acquire funds but also affect transport demand.

Everyone seems to have an opinion about public transport fares. Most think they should be lower and some even suggest they should be free. But does it matter that much? And what are the consequences of different prices not just in the short term as who decides to get a bus or a train rather than use your car, but also in the long term which includes where we chose to live and work and the resultant impact on the shape of the city that develops. Professor Corinne Mulley, then Professor of Public Transport at the University of Sydney’s Institute of Transport & Logistics Studies

If a government, a private company or the community wants to build more transport infrastructure or change a policy, or an operating system, how can we evaluate the real consequences, the true worth of going ahead. We have been computer modeling the transport network for a long time now. No model is perfect. Are well getting better in this changing world. And getting better is not just trying to perfect the way we have always done it. In order to have a manageable model we have often zeroed in on specific tasks such as the journey to work, in the morning peak. We have also assumed that people make logical choices based on just time, cost and distance and we have measured the impact by how well we get vehicles to flow on a road or public transport to run. Our models are also contained, in that they usually don't allow for people to move out of the peak periods we are analysing. And while we may change the land-use, the activities that generate trips, according to our designed plan, we don't often consider how the transport system may impact where jobs, schools, shops and other activities will spring up. The modeling usually takes a long time The Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies at Sydney University has developed and run their own model with a different approach. This broadcast is not a workshop on the intricacies of using the model but rather why did it come about, what it is broadly trying to do and what is it leading to in the future. Prof David Hensher is the founder and director of the Institute and has had a very hands-on role in this project.

An international consortium including the Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies at the University of Sydney is to continue its ground breaking efforts to improve bus rapid transit systems with renewed backing from the Volvo Research and Education Foundation. Prof Corinne Mulley from the Institute describes their approach. We been looking at all sorts of things as a consortium about how bus rapid transit could be better placed in cities and provide better mobility for citizens because that's what it's all about what we been doing in Sydney specifically is trying to identify why there appears to be a rail by is not only from politicians but from citizens. We're done a stated choice experiment in which we've given people to begin with pictures where the was a new tram and old tram, new LRT an old LRT, a new bus and an old bus and ask people which one they preferred and I was staggered that over 50% just on the looks chose the modern LRT. More recently we've been looking at another stated choice experiment to try and dig down and find out what sort of characteristics are putting people in favour of rail based technology rather than road based technology and there were some interesting features that come out of this. The two that stand out for me is that actually from buses what citizens appreciate is the greater network that you get for the same amount of dollars spent. So we gave people of fixed budget. You could have this amount of network from another without saying that it was LRT or BRT. SO people chose that feature as being important to them. And the second thing which stood out for me in terms of the research is the role of experience. So in cities like Brisbane where people are familiar with rapid transit it gets very much higher rating in terms of people being prepared to vote for a system that would include BRT.
