[edit] Rewrite

I was having a go at a nearly total re-write of this page, but time has gotten the better of me and I have to pause to go to work. Hopefully later I will add more content, as well as photos and links. Cheers. AtD 14:59, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Livery

Is this the correct page to describe/show the standard bus/train/new tram livery? Is it "Adelaide Metro" livery or is it "TransAdelaide" livery? 61.88.61.66 02:43, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, this would be the best place. It's Adelaide Metro livery, I guess, since Torrens Transit, etc, use it.AtD 04:52, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2008 Budget

I just added all the relevant information from the 2008 budget link I have provided about future development. There are 2 points with the link article that I'm unsure of.

Train Section - "All rail guage will be standardised and the Gawler line will then be electrified". I'm not sure if that means Adelaide will adopt the interstate rail type (standard guage) as the other states already use? but I just assumed that the statement meant things would stay the same (broad guage).

Bus Section - "planning is about to begin on "gated-interchanges" where tickets are validated before the bus arrives". I'm unsure whether this will be rolled out at Train stations as well similar to Melbourne or just for a couple of Bus interchanges along the O-Bahn. As the comment used "will save valuable time and make boarding times easier and quicker" as it is the same process on trains when passengers crowd around the machines making boarding and access even for the driver sometimes awkward.Denzelio (talk) 01:30, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
