It's unusual to see reduced services over January school holidays, with the exception of the regular reduction Between Christmas and the New Year (and often just afterwards as well). Details are vague so can't really get to the nitty gritty of details. I wonder what has caused this, more Government cost cutting?

They haven't published anything else so I guess they're relying on people checking the real time apps on the day, same with NYE it seems.

The Adelaide Metro website says "Further details about New Year’s Eve services will be released soon". I guess tomorrow or early next week at the latest??

It does seem strange to reduce services for the whole of January, although I guess loadings are generally less than usual. Not helped by the Covid-19 impacts either.

According to Fleet Lists R1333 and R1334 have been retired. Has this occurred now and if so are there any other retirements about to happen? Made me wonder given the extra delay of the Gawler train line whether a lot of these R buses will stick around until it’s reopened.

It would be good if there's going to be a listing of what bus routes are going to be reduced & times during the Summer services.

They've updated some of it... O-Bahn says "lol come check later" whereas they list 30 minute non peak for GO Road.
