Because the Gawler Bus subs require so many buses,Torrrens Transit didnt have sufficient spare buses,so they chose to give Kanga some runs. It was also common for SouthLink to use contractors for weekday closures on the Gawler & Noarlunga/Seaford lines. Good way for charter companies to get some re...

Why is it suss? Perhaps Kanga sees a longer term opportunity to either participate in or tender in their own right for rail replacements. After all its a free market..... The buses could also be used for cruise ship transfers to the city when that activity eventually resumes. I know a few years ago...

So whats going to happen to 1790 , not on airport runs now i see. It should at least be given to Busways to be used on 721/T721 services

Seems suss that kanga has dressed up their runs as K Rail. Maybe they are hoping one of the new bus operators or train operator will flop

A tinkering of bus routes in northern Adelaide could be considered.
For example:

228 divert to Lyell McEwin Hospital

A difference of 10 minutes or so may mean the company won't need to pay overtime.

I am really shocked at the location of "Flinders Station", or whatever they are calling it. It just seems to be in the middle of nowhere with a fair walk to the majority of the Universities buildings, and a bit of a walk to the Hospital. Where else could it of gone without costing an arm and a leg?...

I love holding people up getting off the bus with all door loading! Most pax barge on without letting people off. I stand in the middle of the door, look threatening and give time for people to get out of their seats and off the bus! They're supposed to be out of their seats and waiting to exit whe...

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.
