Some further observations of loads at the end of the first week. Rough figures, rounded to the nearest five, to give a flavour of what's happening. Based on a couple of trips each way at the am and pm peaks and lunch time.

Morning peak. To Adelaide Railway Station 25. From 45.
Lunch. To Adelaide Railway Station 20. From 35.
Afternoon. To Adelaide Railway station 40. From 50!

I don't claim these as typical, just some observations.

That's a net gain of 45 people in the east end per day

It should be buzzing

I was a bit suprised by that too.

Simply pointing out it was a stupid idea would suffice.

I wonder when this new infrastructure SA thing ia going to kill it properly....not that the Government apparently intends on listening to them.

Why stick to your guns when you can find a way to make the opposition look bad?

Is the voice announcer the same guy from the planes announcements. Also I don't see why we got to be told what side of the tram to get off, we got by fine for over a century

Considering half the stops in the city you get out on the right, and the other half now on the left, it's a sensible thing to do.

Yes, announcing which side the doors open is fine. It's the "in the direction of travel" tacked on afterwards that's redundant.
