Existing services could be improved by removing the 3 minute loading time at TTP that seems to be present on all services outside of peak, even late at night. It doesn't always take that long for 10 able-bodied pax to step onto a low floor bus. That extra minute or two loading time is the differenc...

With Rail Subs continuing through to December all these R buses and more will be needed.(currently there are 10 "R" buses).

There is full line closure in summer school holidays too

I imagine some buses will need to be used for train substitute services on the Harbor and Grange Lines and possibly all lines when wires are put up on the rest of Adelaide Yard

From an outsiders view, I think it would make sense for a new route entirely instead of making the 230/232 situation more complex than necessary. 230/232 to remain the same north of Arndale. Then run direct via Torrens Road to the city (decreasing travel time for people who live further out) 231/wh...

They should allow a school to do a mural in the interchange , maybe at shelters i like how some Seaford Line railway stations were painted

Last week I went on a few buses in first time in ages whilst waiting for my car to be serviced. The driver on the 502 was braking too late. The MAN bus on H30 felt like its tyres were really really inflated. Then rode a A City train to Clovelly, swaying alot especially between Mile End and Goodwood....

Why do our metropolitan trains sway so much? I have never experienced it as bad in Melbourne or Sydney

Who is getting the Zone Cruiser?

One I've thought of this morning. Now that Torrens run both 228 and J1 if 228 was to deviate via the Lyell McEwin and times adjusted they'll have a Go Zone beteeen Elizabeth East and Salisbury Heights

The City Connector will recommence on Sunday 5th July.
The J1X has been cancelled permanently.

I never saw much patronage on the J1X, most people just got whatever was there including myself

Whats the overpass like at Noarlunga Centre Station, could be used on T721s?

Hawker Street works

I wonder if Torrens Transit will takeover Willaston depot , if not there will be many Not In Service runs between Edinburgh North depot and Gawler, by the time you run NIS they'll be better off maybe running every 2nd 440 to Hewett via Adelaide Road and Murray Street and 462 to Gawler East via Angle...

I hope TT have fixed the 462 so Munno Para is not spelt Munno Parra

The 565 route already had every second service cut to allow the creation of the 566. There generally are people who use the nlw hourly (or 2 hourly on Saturday) 565 service given it has a guaranteed connection with the 560 to/from TTP. Also alot of people in Montague Farm (Henderson Ave) seem to go...

The 222 should go back to its original route running between City and Gepps Cross with F buses running pick up only until Stop 25 on the outbound and set down only after Stop 25 on the inbound. The 224/224F should revert to running along Port Wakefield Road then Salisbury Highway, 225/225F running a...

Unless there are more bus lanes and B lights the bus will be stuck in the traffic jam like everybody else on the road.

The former tram network done with buses might work

The State Government is elected to serve and Govern for all of South Australia, I can't see many bus route improvements that he is proposing that will win votes. Pat Conlon and transport ministers after him may of not been perfect but they improvised when needed and fixed the system including,... Pu...

Can anyone give me a history of the 254 route? I'm planning on catching it to University next semester and it'd be cool to know some background. Maybe if it used to have different route variations or ran down different roads? Like many of today's bus routes that run to and from the City it was orig...

jibb wrote: ↑Mon Jun 15, 2020 10:33 am It looks like the J1X service will no longer exist with these changes. Wonder where the 1790 Double Decker will end up?

Would it just fit under the pedestrian overpass at Noarlunga Centre , if so it could be used on one of the T services

No real surprise - did a small survey of the 3:30, 4:30, 5:30 services and all were next to empty (2 pax max). A much simpler system for the Southern Vales is planned, reducing 10+ variations to just 4. One option that might work though is extending the 737 to McLaren Vale via Clarendon and McLaren...

At least going via current route people dont have to cross a busy main road and/or walk long distance from the streets near the lake. The proposed route means people will have to cross the busy The Golden Way and/or walk a long way to get the bus. At night the proposed route should at least be alter...

Adelaide's public bus network should not be run by private companies it should be run by government.
