About the Your Move Journey Planner

The Your Move Journey Planner (powered by SkedGo) combines cutting-edge, technology with open-source data to revolutionise the way you plan to move around your local area. Our new improved Journey Planner now offers you a seamless, multimodal, personalised trip planning experience on your device of choice. 

The multi-modal Your Move Journey Planner uses the TripGo platform, produced by mobility technology company Skedgo, to help you find more ways to get from A to B. You can use any combination of local public transport (bus, train, ferry) with private and other transport modes such walking, bike riding, car, taxi, or even motorbike.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the data come from for the bike routes suggested?

The bike route data for the Your Move Journey Planner (powered by Skedgo) comes from the open-source system Open Street Maps (OSM).

Open Street Maps is a crowdsourced platform, in that any member of the public (or local governments or state government departments) can go in there and suggest updates.

Once suggestions are submitted to OSM, they will either accept the changes or reject them. The changes then flow through to Skedgo, to their TripGo app and then to the Your Move Journey Planner.

The way the tagging of roads and paths in OSM works is detailed here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bicycle AND https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:bicycle

If I see an issue with a bike route on the Journey Planner, who can I report it to?

The bike route data for the Your Move Journey Planner (powered by Skedgo) comes from the open-source system Open Street Maps (OSM).

The general public are welcome to make suggested changes directly to Open Street Maps  themselves if they see issues with the network. Skedgo will endeavour to incorporate them into the trip planner in a timely manner. 

Alternatively, reports can also be sent to the Department of Transport (DOT) for inclusion in a future data provision to OSM.  

What do the blue lines and blue dots refer to on the bike map for a planned bike journey?

When you have planned a bike journey, you will see your route depicted with a dotted line, along with lots of blue lines on the map to describe the footpath and shared path network that is currently added to OSM. The small blue dots on the map refer to bike rack locations.  

 

What do the green lines, blue lines and other coloured lines refer to on the ‘Details’ option for a bike journey?

 When you plan a bike journey and click on the ‘Details’ option, you are provided with an indicative breakdown of the types of infrastructure that your planned journey may comprise. This includes ‘cycle lanes’, ‘cycle network’ (footpaths and shared paths) and infrastructure that is ‘designated for cyclists’ (footpaths, shared paths and high quality shared paths.


How do you determine if a section of a bike journey is ‘designated for cyclists’, or is a side road etc?

This data is sourced from OSM, and the tags are attached to each “waypoint” along the route”. Here is an example of bicycle tags. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bicycle_tags_map     

Where do you get the public transport information from, is it accurate and in real time?

How do you calculate the car costs for a journey?

For fuel costs, Skedgo uses a calculation using the cost per kilometre which has two components:

  • Vehicle maintenance per km cost:

The fuel cost is set at AUD 1.69 per litre or USD 1.13 per litre and this value was collected from the Global Petrol Prices website in 2024.

The vehicle maintenance cost is set at $0.66 per km* for Australia and the data was collected from RAC - Royal Automobile Club of WA     

*Note: These vehicle maintenance values were last updated in 2023:

Why don’t we have the option to choose Rideshare or eScooter hire?

Some other jurisdictions have added Rideshare or eScooter hire locations to their TripGo data, and while this data may be integrated at a later date, however at this stage there are no plans to add this data to the Your Move Journey Planner (powered by Skedgo).
