Some suburb heat maps in Sydney

Here are a few heatmaps of how easy it is to reach suburbs from a few others.

Please bear in mind that these are averages using a raptor router.
If you drop your suburb below illdo a secondary post.

Some suburb maps around the Uni

Here are some suburb maps for suburbs I reckon are somewhat related to the uni, from their student body and campus locations.

If I have missed your suburb, give it a mention below and I'll make a secondary post.

Hope you enjoy

Please note the costs are an average for different modes, times of day, user category etc

Some suburb heat maps for the areas around the uni.

Let me know if I've missed yours, and I'll make a further post.

A few things to note are that the costs are an average of a few journeys at different times and different user categories (Adult, senior, child)

Hope you enjoy.

Secondary Suburb map post

Been mapping Melbourne's public transport connectivity, suburb by suburb. Fitzroy ranks #24 of 450.

The map shows how many transfers you need to reach destinations from Fitzroy. Currently working on a time-based heat map over a cost one.

Drop your suburb below, and I'll share its report

Just some heat maps I've put together from data I had from another project, if you comment your suburb and people like the post ill put together a few more

They must collude beforehand for the order.

I thought the whole point was to have random orders to make the race that bit more exciting over the usual relays but these are just a way for 400 runners to make teams now.

Can world athletics make the orders unknown so that we get some men vs women legs

I can't stand the fact that I hear all this about Tate Taylor, jordon anthony, gout gout, and formally Boling.

But the one guy who could actually break the next time barrier, be that the 43s barrier in the 400 - Kebinatshipi, gets next to nothing in comparison to press, general conversations. Surely the drop off in press isnt that severe from the 100m to the 400m??

Let me know what you think.
It's probably one of the next ones to break.

I've been building a suburb ranking of each city for their public transport, I've got a few comparisons between them if you want to take a look. (Mad what boredom does sometimes)

Melbourne wins:

  • More train stations, better inner-suburb coverage
  • Fare integration across all modes since the 80s — Sydney still charges you separately to transfer
  • Regional rail isn't even a contest — Geelong trains run every 20 minutes. Newcastle trains are a joke
  • Tram network size — 250km vs Sydney's 37km. It's not close

Sydney wins:

  • Train frequency — most Sydney stations run every 15 min or better, all day, all week
  • Ferries — Melbourne has a handful. Sydney has a full ferry network connecting the Harbour, Parramatta River and Manly.
  • PT accessibility reach — good access extends 25km from Sydney's CBD vs just 15km from Melbourne's
  • Actual ridership — Sydney trains carry ~40% more passengers despite similar population
  • Airport train. Sydney has one. Melbourne does not. In 2025.

The catch on trams: Melbourne's tram network is huge — but 30 minute waits on nights and weekends undermine the whole thing for some routes. Sydney's light rail is smaller but more frequent. Bigger isn't always better.

Overall: Melbourne has the better network on paper. Sydney delivers better outcomes in practice. Frequency beats coverage every time.

We're scoring Melbourne suburbs on PT access right now — genuinely curious whether the data backs up what everyone here already knows about how badly the outer west gets left behind.

What did I get wrong?

I'm looking at app development posts on here and wondering the following:

How many of you employ multiple monitization strategies in order to boost the income.

For example, you have your ad income, subscriptions, and pay-to-download. But relatistically unless you have a very solid ad or you're in a niche, you're not doing a pay-to-download, so that leaves ads. But what else are you doing or are you just hoping MAU generates income.
