And as for the cost of petrol, within 15 years the majority of cars will be running on alternate fuels. Maybe, but that doesn't mean the alternate fuels will be much cheaper. Seeing as you have a crystal ball to see into the future, can you check for me what next weeks lotto numbers are? Unfortunat...

Aidan, I’m not sure if you are just young, naive, or a few bricks short. No I'm not, but thanks for your concern! Some of your responses just don’t make any sense at all. Such as? And then when I saw a proposal for a monorail between Marion and Flinders on your web site I was awestruck. It did give...

Hmm where to start. I’m not anti public transport, far from it in fact, I am a fan and use it when I can. The problem with PT is that it does not provide you with many options, travel from point A to point B, but what if I don’t want point B I want point C instead, that where PT loses out to cars. ...

I'm so sick of hearing the story that a new freeway in Adelaide will turn us into LA. If that's a fair argument i will continue to compare Adelaide's new TOD plans to the Bronx of New York City. Me too - LA population - 3.8 Million on 1,300 square kilometres. Adelaide poulation - 1.1 Million on 1,8...

Underground tunnels are good for express running, but underground stations are very expensive to construct, and have high operating costs because they need to be staffed for safety reasons. Not necessarily, in Europe a lot of underground stations are not staffed. Are you sure about that? The staff ...

All for a freeway that would soon become congested, as urban freeways do! And because of the increased number of people travelling to the CIty by car, you would have more congestion on the CIty streets. Jeez I hate reading bullshit like this. This is an incorrect statement. Which statement in parti...

I have been advised by my member of Parliament that the electrification of the Perth rail system was funded federally, why is it then that the South Australian electrification is being funded by the state budget ? would this then not be seen as playing favouritism.? If we didn't have any federal fu...

except light rail would be better to run down Marion Road instead of Morphett Road. The number of passengers (and potential number of passengers) is much, much higher on Marion Road. I did consider that, but there are three factors in Morphett Road's favour: Firstly the route is shorter. Less track...

Yes I do live in the area. I see the dole bludgers who CHOOSE to hang around Arndale. The assholes who live of everyone elses taxes, cruise around in beat up shit boxes, and don't do shit with their lives. But are you sure they don't do shit with their lives ? Arndale is less than five minutes from...

Cheers for that. I'm using a web interface via Google Maps which means no private hosting etc. I'm essentially working on just about every vision I've ever had for Adelaide. It will be insanely comprehensive once done, and do expect some surprises. Private hosting is OK - you just need an API key. ...

Norman, ATD, and Aidan, I'm wondering how do you establish a site like Aidan's where you can plot lines on a Google-based map and upload it onto the internet? I have always been in the midst of compiling my own PT projects (in an ad-hoc manner) but have never got around to compiling a 'comprehensiv...

This underpass while better than nothing is a complete lack of vision considering the costs involved. Why was the underpass not expanded to 3 lanes each way? That way if ever the road is widened the underpass already caters for it. Actually, even in the rather unlikely event that the road is expand...

As a final year Civil Engineering student at the University of South Australia, my investigation project focuses on the future of rail transport in Adelaide over the next 30 years. The project, which is now in the draft report writing stage, has its own website including a map of the schemes I am in...

Adelaide Oval is not a great venue for cricket

Then why do so many people say it is?

The Advertisers plans are quite good, but unfortunately it includes a stadium that isn't truly multipurpose. Adelaide has a poor history of building specialised infrastructure scattered around the suburbs - when it should be one multipurpose venue centrally located. AFL, A League, 20/20 Cricket and...
