Re: Difficult right hand turns for bus routes

229 down: right turn from Muriel onto Montague Rd.
229 up: right turn from Sullivan onto Montague Rd.
Both of these are turning onto 70 km/h roads.

Re: Plans for Port Dock Interchange

The car park in Lipson Street at Port Adelaide, between the Police complex and the railway museum is being closed soon for a couple of months, to then reopen as the new Port Adelaide bus interchange. I found quite a bit of detail on the City of Port Adelaide Enfield website.

Re: Buses out of service for long periods

Every time I go to MV for a meal break 1319 is sitting alongside workshop wall with a few other out of use gas buses (NL202 and NL232) and hasn’t moved. Maybe an MV operator knows more?

Re: Admet 2024 timetable changes what can we expect

Well, if these 15 diesel/hybrid buses are for service increases and cost $19m (which probably includes the additional service running costs, as well as the capital cost of the 15 buses), a lot of money will need to be found/set aside for the 30 or so buses at Aldgate/Mt Barker, whose operational li...

Re: 2023 SA Transport observations

1385 was withdrawn about 4 months ago, mechanical issues, a cracked windscreen and 25 year expiry looming. It sat at Port depot unused for about a month before going to the government yard at the back of Morphettville depot, even though not a government owned bus.

Re: [Jan-Jun 2023] SA Transport observations

461 and 462 not scrapped, still running but now on a separate timetable rather than being included on the 451/452 timetable as they were previously. Only trouble is clicking on 461 or 462 future timetables on the AdMet website brings up the new 451/452 timetable. A glitch that needs to be fixed.

Re: [Jan-Jun 2023] SA Transport observations

They can’t retire the NL202 buses (Newton and Morphettville) until replacements arrive and I’ve heard waiting for parts has been holding up deliveries of new BusTechs. Any new style validators installed in the NL202 buses can be easily removed and installed in the new BusTechs, as has been done with...

Re: [Oct-Dec 2022] SA transport observations

I believe all diesel NL202s were retired on Friday 28 November and a few 1200 Scanias were transferred from Morphettville to Edinburgh North as a result.

And the large “don’t board if you’re feeling unwell” stickers (on the glass of doors and on the bodywork near doors) are in the process of being removed after adorning buses for over 2 years.

Re: The Random Admet Question Thread

Once the coin dispensers are removed a great open gap is left between the current security screens and the windscreen, creating a place of vulnerability for the driver, and making the existing screens close to useless. So there are several types on trial on different buses at all depots, all with th...

Re: Any one know if Adelaidemetro fares will increase

I think 1 July.
All the posters in buses, trains and trams will need to be changed. In buses above the windscreen in view of driver. Really it’s only the MetroCard fare and not the cash fare that is relevant now (on buses anyway).
