Re: Glenelg Tram upgrade (#UC: South Rd Overpass)
With City South the only non wheelchair accessible stop on the line, it's only a matter of time. Not just non-wheelchair accessible. It's also the only stop without shelter, and the only stop that doesn't have a display of the timetable. Increasing patronage, with significant expected boosts from w...

Like the new over the re-build but not the location.

Re: Adelaide Airport & Airline News
Even if they are past the curfew, fancy some bureaucrat in Canberra denying them permission to land. 180 passengers back towards Sydney because of a few minutes. What a joke. Joke on us! Pity the poor passengers who had their journey interrupted when the plane was diverted at the last minute. Ohhh,...

Re: News: Adelaide City Council
How can you complain about the Clipsal construction time, when you blocked the move to build a permanent grand stand in the first place??? Also on the events in the park lands, increase the fees for the bigger events. Simple as that. Please do not try to stop, or restrict events from happening in t...

Re: New Power Generator on Torrens Island

Re: #U/C: Port Adelaide Tram Line
I would like to see the new trams and, over time, our other trams, trains and buses have a colour scheme which shifts the emphasis and proportions of the three main colours - red, blue and yellow. The current dominance of yellow tends to look tired and dirty, whereas the bright red (or blue) looks f...

Re: Snappy answers to stupid questions.
Sadly, local residents missed out when a number of stations on the Belair line were closed eg Millswood and others. It's a dim memory as to the official reason but efficiency and insufficient patronage spring to mind. Sacrifice the needs of inner suburban residents for the greater good of shorter tr...

Re: Victoria Square: Not a place for congregating.
I was walking through from the markets today to the GPO and looked at Victoria Square. I know for years and years we've all debated what should be done or what could be done with this area. Victoria Square has become a rather soulless, windswept transport hub, pedestrian thoroughfare with a magnifi...

Re: The Age- Australians heading o/s: is our country too boring?
I'll be visiting Australia next month. Since it's going to be my first time there, I don't think the country is boring. Welcome in advance! Good time to visit. Australia is, as they say, 'godzone (or godzown)'!!! Hope you can make it to South Australia during your stay. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
