First Glasgow have a similar system which I used a few times and it's fine, as long as you have the QR code ready upon boarding.

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

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Buses

It shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone that the free fares mixed with low frequencies would result in this overcrowding. It's half of why I didn't bother going to see the fireworks.

this kind of attitude really grinds my gears why would you force something to become less convenient to make a less convenient option viable... this authoritarian mindset which goes against market forces applies to so many bad ideas Sitting in traffic, spending money on petrol and depreciation is n...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

People in this thread advocate for electrification of that line all the time. It’s a bit of a stretch to say we’re not discussing that (whether it be health benefits or just good transport policy). The batteries are a good short term fix but they just need to get 25khz electrification done or someth...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

Because a battery can't prevent high speed winds from knocking down trees and lines, just like a coal plant can't?

Re: Riverlea (Buckland Park) | 12,000 dwellings | $3b

Pending any other recommendations from traditional owner groups this is probably the best approach. Had there been any suggestion of this before development started?
