Genesis Tour & Charter

Postby Dave C » Tue Jul 19, 2011 7:56 pm

Just browsing their website and notice they do a service run from Adelaide to Arkaroola, timetable here http://www.genesistours.com.au/images/p ... Ark_tt.pdf

Anybody seen this run and/or know what bus they are using on it? How long has it been running for?

No mention of it on the Bus SA website.

It's been going a while, I used a Genesis coach when I did the Coast to Coast bike ride a couple of years ago and I remember seeing something about their Arkaroola service then. Genesis frequently run services carrying bicycles hence the mention on that PDF that this service stops along several points of the Mawson and Heysen Trails.
Time to get bus priority and tram priority through the city and suburbs.
Time to police bus lanes which are used by arrogant car drivers.
Time to work for better timetables and better connections.

Interesting question Dave!
My mate booked his son on this service, one way return from Wilmington or somewhere up there to Adelaide. What turned up was a pantec truck because only one passenger was booked on the trip and they had lots of freight! The most shocking part wasn the lad (13 at the time) was then asked to help unload freight at various locations on the return trip!!! This was reported to PTD but no idea what the outcome was! What happens if another passenger turned up?? insurance??

Anyway that aside I think the service only runs occasionally and their Scania has been seen on the service at times!
