Isn't that just KD's rail contract? KD still has the hills bus contract through Southlink.

It is, but we'll see if they keep buses with the Malinauskas Government wanting to eventually return buses to public hands.

There is no chance of the DIT getting the contract back, unless all the CNGs buses are retired. This may not have been the main reason behind privatisation in the first place. But it will definitely coincide with their immediate withdrawal. Nobody wants to catch a loud and audible CNG bus through a 100 zone in any circumstances.

What are you talking about? The CNG buses are Government owned.

There had been talk about tweaking Gawler line timetables and connecting bus service timetables given the Gawler line is now operating electric trains exclusively.
