It's a very interesting read. This obsession that this Government has with trams is fascinating.
I get the extension to The Entertainment Centre. Though, I still think it is quicker by bus from the Ent Cent to the Railway Station.
I get the extension down King William Road which helps with Adelaide Oval patrons.
But, will demand for the tram increase patronage to other areas? I thought UniSA were looking at leaving the Magill Campus.
Would people still use the tram when it runs on the street with cars? In Melbourne it is "romantic" to get on a tram. But the trams are generally tiny (though, with very frequent services).
Are we seduced by the patronage within the city mile?
My point of view - modernise what we have. Electrify the Gawler Line as a priority. Look at buses that will service the new RAH and how that will effect North Tce traffic flow. There are a lot of people who currently use services, especially busway services, from the old RAH.
Though I am happy there is a plan.
