If I may point out a few areas which could of been better managed.

What fool anticipates a growth in patronage but does not increase capacity. The trams can not be coupled and each carrys less then the existing trams. Frequencys can not be increased because they did not build grade seperations ...

And how can the government stuffed our new tram system? It hasn't been better off since it started operations, and the extension was just as good, if not, better than the old route. To say they stuffed it is a cheap childish typical opposition comments, from someone who cannot afford to come out ...

I agree with what has been said about making the rail system run more efficiently. It does make sense to make better use of out existing rail system for public transport from the outer areas to the city centre. It needs to be fast, stop less often and have feeder bus services.

Idea for Outer ...

Hi Adam, i agree with what you have said

But have you ever been to Los Angeles? A freeway system is not the answer, it doesn't matter how large you make the road system, demand will always rise above capacity.
Why must people allways refer to LosAngeles with any road construction. Why not more ...

does this make electrification of the rail network a bad thing now?

Um, jk, please check my posts.

Adelaide had Melbourne style left hand loading in King William Street with safety zones till 1958.

I have never seen these left hand loading bays in any of the old photos.

HUNDREDS of angry residents will join the protest against the Cheltenham racecourse development tomorrow night.

Planning SA officials will host this last official opportunity for comment on the proposal.
The department has received almost ...

bulldoser I might of been too strong on personal attacks and disorganised arguments. Let me sum up my argument against public transport breifly

Public Transport allready has a large financial incentive in encouraging people to use it. Ticket prices only pay for about 25% of the service cost. At the ...

How about we look at and address why these stations are unused as opposed to throwing them all in the too hard basket?
How do you propose they be brought to a reasonable usage level? Stations that have too low patranage should be closed. Trains are ment to travel long distances at high speeds ...

Please explain what you mean by 'tram to nowhere' because none of the anti-tram people seem to be able to. Apparently our city is 'nowhere,' UniSA is 'nowhere,' the rail station and convention centre are 'nowher.' Need I go on?
What annoys people is the goverments attitude towards voters. They ...

The Q195, lets set the record straight, you come come from a school of thought that is anti public trasnport.
Not nessasaraly. I believethat the electrification of Adelaides rail network should be done at some point in time. It should of already been done 20 - 50 years ago but it hasent, nor has ...

See what I mean? Suddenly I'm a conspiracy theorist for suggesting that car companies advertise, and suddenly PT needs to be carbon neutral to be creditable.
What are you and rhino trying to suggest then. The reason for people not wanting to use other forms of transport is because of car company ...

The census only covers travel to work. You have to consider the other 50% of non work travel purposed. Cars do 95% of the work. I am not aware of the exact efficiency levels of public transport in Melbourne. The article none the less proves that public transport is not close to carbon neautral as ...

What an absolute crock of shit that trains and trams produce more greenhouse gases than cars. Are you comparing 1 car to 1 train, and 1 car to 1 tram, or dont you realise that 1 tram could carry around 100 people, and 1 train can carry around 700 people. You probably come from the school of thought ...
