Re: Admet 2024 timetable changes what can we expect

Pity the 3/4 removed W91 services in the middle of the weekday haven't been reinstated, so much for being a Go-Zone.

Re: [Mar/Apr 2019] SA Transport observations

Noticed today some of the 3000/3100's spotted on the Belair line now have a yellow paint work edging around the passenger doors instead of blue ones, I assume yellow is a very recent modification.

MFS paging shows that there was a bus fire on Currie St this afternoon, doesn't mention which one though. 99% certain it was an NL202 (sorry don't remember the fleet number) at least 2 or 3 fire extinguishers were used before the MFS arrived. Quite interesting to watch while waiting for a bus in Gr...
