As much as I hate the record high fares
Well, any fare hike is going to create a record high fare, isn't it?
I travel 39km on the bus (mostly express) twice a day and each trip (no concession) costs me $4.25. I really don't think that's a problem.

Universities should be about the best outcomes for the students NOT taxpayers.
lol
that hasn't been the case for 30 years
That doesn't make it untrue. Somewhere along the line we dropped the ball, we need to fix that.

Would it be worth extending that Commercial Road route down Frederick Road to West Lakes Mall?

there are still way too many carparking stations in the CBD, and still no decent ring route around the CBD
You make it sound like other cities have a decent ring route around them, but do they? I don't think Australian cities do. Happy to be proven wrong.

Re: News & Discussion: Trams

Wild idea, but what would people think of a compromise where we can have dual tram lanes on O'Connell Street, that yes, would reduce it to one lane in each direction for traffic - but if LeFevre Terrace was duplicated and Main North Road redirected into LeFevre Terrace and then the road realigned t...

It'll be an identical rematch to adelaidean and realm. Nearly the exact same height for all! Exciting

Reminds me of Murray walker doing a Grand Prix commentary: "That car there is absolutely unique! Except for the one right behind it, which is identical!"

How would you deal with the 47 street crossings of the Port Road median between the Entertainment Centre and Port Adelaide station?

Re: News & Discussion: Cycling

Sounds like a plan. Have all the traffic from Main North Road funneling into one lane doing 30km/hour. Be good for Adelaide City Council shops. Prospect Council, not so much.

Re: News & Discussion: Squares and Parklands

Yeah I was a bit tongue-in-cheek because
a) the city skyline is several years old, with many new tall buildings missing
b) the 'lake' (?) in the middle-distance, to the right of the RAH, with hills beyond reminds me more of upper Spencer Gulf than Adelaide.

These claims seem a little sly:

What city is that in the backdrop? And what hills are those, on the eastern horizon?

[COM] Re: 52-66 King William Street | 65m | 15 Levels | Southern Cross Arcade

Today there was talk of hot-desking in the new building, with a number of desks allocated as a percentage of the number of staff. I'm annoyed, but you can't get everything you want. Does hot desking imply their will be a hybrid setup, partly in the office and partly working from home? This is often...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

4029 appeared at Dry Creek at start of March and 4030 in mid April. I saw 4030 in service today (for I believe the first time). Strangely 4029 has yet to enter service. The new units are being delivered about every 6-8 weeks. There are 4 more to be delivered. I reckon they could all be Inservice by...

[SWP] Re: Lot 14 (Old RAH Site)

Universities are federally funded. It's not something for a state government to "choose to spend money on" unless you want the government to be a property developer and build student blocks. That was all you took from Floplo's post? I'm afraid I have to agree with Floplo on this - there i...
