Re: What gives you the S&#T's!?

a through linked 110/501,110/502,110/500.the part about it being through linked for the most part made me think of the old 125(present day H20)and old 580 in some aspects.i am pleased to see the 530 and 578 is back.

Re: BUS ROUTES TO BE SCRAPPED IN DRIVE FOR SAVINGS

just be thankful when light city lost it's part of the contract uber were not even in the running to take it over.there's no way i would support a company where part of your fares paid actually helps americans or the dutch at the cost of local jobs.

Re: What gives you the S&#T's!?

collingwood supporters going on and on about how great their club is.i am not a footy fan and hate the sport but will sometimes watch if there is nothing better on and only if the swans,crows or west coast eagles are playing.

Re: Worst Cars Ever Number 1: Lada Samara

they were junk.not even the late peter brock could save the car.as we were to learn later on with the second generation excel and the second generation of protons we first saw here in the nineties you can make a good car affordable and not have it turn out crap.

Re: Let's fix Channel Nine

how about no more footy show for good.it would be cheaper for them to move the mom/two broke girls/mike and molly sitcoms to fill the gaps where the footy existed.any of those as a mix would be better than oh what a wanker sam newman and his cronies drone on and on about football.

Re: BUS ROUTES TO BE SCRAPPED IN DRIVE FOR SAVINGS

I would not be surprised if the 415 disappeared and they extended the 545 or C2 to cover golden grove/greenwith and salisbury heights and salisbury park through to salisbury itself.all we need is southlink losing most of the north(560/415/430/404/405/400/401)to cover this part of the map and torrens...

so silly soon only a local library or the adelaide metro in town will be the only places left for timetables.
