Re: [Sep/Oct 2019] SA transport observations
On the occasion I've caught a T721, I think I've only seen a passenger board at stop 27 once. Being limited stops makes it even less likely that someone will board. And there's the 5-10 minute layover at Old Reynella too which the DPTI doesn't give a toss about. Unless your destination is one of th...

Re: Adelaide Bus Network Simplification Ideas
The 300 100 etc needs to run more often and there needs to be more of these routes, this has worked well in Melbourne with the Smartbus orbital routes which are very well used.

Re: Transdev Melbourne News 2017
They seem to often target major interchanges (many serviced by Transdev) but surprisingly they do turn up in more far flung places from time to time, like at least once they've spent a day riding the Sunbury town routes :shock: I occasionally see them at Geelong Station and Moorabool Street Bus Int...

Do any apps show fleet numbers for buses in Victoria and do any besides the PTV app show realtime for buses in Geelong, Ballarat etc.? Tripview only shows real time for Melbourne.

Re: O-Bahn upgrades
In Melbourne you can't buy a ticket on board any bus. You must have a Myki before you travel. Any public transport smart card should be treated like any other credit/debit card nearly everyone has, i.e. you have one with credit on so it's always ready to go when you need it. It's only a once-off in...

For the 865 you have: 865 Aldgate to City 865 Aldgate to Stirling 865C Stirling to Crafers 865 City to Aldgate (becuase they have different routes in Stirling and Crafers, I assume they count twice?) 865 Stirling to Aldgate 8...

Re: What was the first bus you remember riding on?
First bus I went on would have been on the Murray Bridge Eastside school bus which was then operated by Riverside Bus Service (the compan y then merged into Murray Bridge Passenger Service, now LinkSA), it would have been a Freighter bodied Bedford.
