Re: Crowded Trams Vs Non Crowded Tram- New Admet Website Feature

"The next tram to Glenelg is busy, I better catch the tram to Botanic Gardens instead!"

Surely the usefulness of this feature on the platform only comes when you can see more than one trip on a given route.

Re: HISTORY of ADELAIDE - BUS, TRAIN & TRAM ROUTES

The "Via Route A" etc were the most meaningless, confusing and pointless destinations ever created. They replaced suburb names, many of which were outdated either through the suburb changing its name or with the route extended beyond those original suburbs. Commuters knew, for instance, t...

Re: Revisiting the Reimagined Adelaide Bus Network

Thanks for the various pieces of feedback received. I have put together v2.0. The following lists the updated/amended routes. Of note, reintroducing a service to Dunrobin St, including a peak service via Morphett Rd. Peak X600 will now be an L600 providing a limited stop peak service to the city fro...

Re: Revisiting the Reimagined Adelaide Bus Network

Loops would work because you would combine two popular services into one and yes it would run both ways. Your not going to please everyone. It would be for example: Elizabeth Station - Davoren Park - Smithfield Station - Elizabeth Downs / Park - Elizabeth Station (and reverse!) It would help people...

Re: Revisiting the Reimagined Adelaide Bus Network

I'm not sure the demand is there for a freeway service between Stirling/Aldgate and Mt Barker. The slightly longer 864 (or your 84) works well, and only takes around 10 minutes longer. I think it would be more beneficial for Mt Barker to have their direct freeway service all day, and for the Go Zon...

Re: Revisiting the Reimagined Adelaide Bus Network

Hi Westside I think you’ve done a great job here - a good network with reasonable compromises. A few points on the Hills area - the 83 to Mt Barker would be better used going direct on the freeway from Crafers at all times - as a growing region and much larger town than Stirling/Aldgate, the go zon...

Revisiting the Reimagined Adelaide Bus Network

I thought I'd see if others had any plans like I have, for revisiting the much-maligned overhaul of the Adelaide Bus Network. Overall I found it to be quite positive, and just needed a few tweaks here and there to fill in a number of the gaps it left. So with my time at home, I went to task adjustin...

Re: Current Bus Contracts/Renewals

Thanks. :) The map is made by taking Admet's original map and using my very limited photoshop skills over the top. It's just lines and squares at a high res, but they look ok when zoomed out at that height. Yeah, my idea is around fewer routes that connect through the main stations. Rather than dump...

Re: Current Bus Contracts/Renewals

Given the drastic changes to other contract areas. I was thinking about what a significantly overhauled Outer North area would look like. There's no reason the Outer Suburbs don't deserve high-frequency routes too. I think there are also a lot of routes that can be consolidated to make this happen. ...

Re: Consultation on new AdMet Network

Anyone important read these forums? I’d like to see “Route 237” reintroduced extended to Tea Tree Plaza as sometimes it’s a hassle with the 361 it doesn’t always connect when you need it. That thought goes against the mantra of the new network, which is fewer routes, less duplication but higher fre...

Re: Major weekend track closure - Southern lines

Cool, thanks for the suggestions! At least the Altandi option is timetabled, so there is a level of reassurance assuming the GC trains still run to timetable for the VL to Yeerongpilly section. And the 140/130s still run every 15 mins on weekends and seem pretty fast, so that's not a terrible option...

Re: BUS ROUTES TO BE SCRAPPED IN DRIVE FOR SAVINGS

Speaking of short services, if the 150Ps were removed, this would free up a bit of funding for the 333s to return. Surely these are even more useless given that they only operate to reduce not in service running. They must have been implemented by Labor as a result of them possibly being persuaded ...
