Today's historic #photo of the day: A view of the up end of Yass Junction station, Yass, NSW, November 2 1985.

Yass Junction #station is 318km from Sydney on the main southern line. It is the passenger station for the town of Yass, and it was also the junction for a branch line into Yass Town itself. You can see the small platform for the Yass Town branch line in the background of this photo.

#RapidKL denied viral post that there was explosion or fire involving a Mass #Rail #Transit (#MRT) #train along #Kajang line on Wednesday afternoon.

The #incident only involved sound of a #spark from train number 28, not explosion or fire.

The #alarm of the MRT #track #power supply system was triggered at nearby station.

For #safety reason, the train was removed from service at #TamanMutiara #station and passengers were asked to board the next train.

Although my train stops this station, it’s been a few years since last time I actually used this station 🤔
I had good 30 minutes that I wanted to spend in a bar while waiting for a train - the bar was closed (probably permanently) 😢

At least, this is a gorgeous looking station to visit once in a while 😉

Someone took a quick ride by #LRT to go to work – but sometimes it took more than an hour just to get to the #station itself by #bus from home.

Someone else relies on parents to take them to the nearest LRT station as there aren’t any feeder #bus stop within a walkable distance.

Another person said there is a #busstop but it is in poor condition.

The complaints of the three LRT commuters highlight the need for feeder buses.

A fellow transit user known as Ernest Wong is making some kind of update to the improved RapidKL transit map.

Two new labels are added to highlight and given emphasis about two changes to the map:
1. LRT3 - isn’t opened yet; will only open in 2025
2. KTM Skypark - line is suspended since Feb 2023; alternative bus routes to airport shown

The labels are now pasted on top of official maps in some stations in Kuala Lumpur.

Prime Minister’s announcement of a RM4.7 billion allocation in Budget 2024 to revive the plan to build five stations on the #LRT3 line in #Selangor that was cancelled in 2018 has raised eyebrows.

The 37km LRT3 line will connect #BandarUtama to #JohanSetia in #Klang, and is currently under construction.

With budget of RM4.7 billion, the average cost to build each #station is roughly RM940 million.

#KTM, which used to move 83,315 passengers daily in 2016, plummeted to a mere 16,164 in 2021.

A total review of the #accessibility of #station is necessary.

Improving #connectivity to harder-to-access stations could boost numbers as there is a need to have good connectivity with the catchment areas.

Enhancing connectivity through #feeder #bus services would allow passengers better access to #publictransport.

One of the easiest ways to further improve #walkability is to increase the connectivity of walkways at public transportation stations to surrounding neighbourhoods and activity centres.

Stations must be designed for last-mile #connectivity, especially with proper walkways.

Stakeholders are encouraged to come together and start a movement to urge the government for change.

For those wondering today why locating a #CO2 observational #station on a flank of an active #MaunaLoa volcano:
1. It is remote from major pollution sources and located at a hight of 3.4 km above sea level - a perfect spot for sampling background air in the well mixed free #troposphere.
2. It is easily accessible and has a good local infrastructure.
3. It is also the longest #record of #volcanic CO2 observations.
A win-win situation for #science 😀
