Re: #Article: Adelaide architects failing in top-end design

So, as you suggest, start small with things like bus stops and signage and work through to larger infrastructure like bridges, rail stations and government buildings. Why not start with the Marj and the new SAPOL headquarters? Indeed, and i still think the ACC should improve the pedestrian crossing...

Re: [] News: Adelaide City Council

Do you have a hidden agenda to transform Adelaide into some sort of Melbourne with those street names? No. But good on Melbourne for having street names that are relevant. Barton was our first prime minister, Monash was our greatest General, Stuart even could become a street name (atleast he surviv...

Re: A logic Numbering system fro Adelaide's Buses

IMO the bus system needs some serious fixing after the trains have been upgraded, AdMet could learn a lot from bus operators in countries like Germany, France and Switzerland, Well if the can doe it in a small provincial city in the middle of Schleswig-Holstein (ie Neumeunster) which only has 80,00...

Re: A logic Numbering system fro Adelaide's Buses

Like, should they be 1 number, 2 number, 3 number or 3numbers and a letter or just letters. http://www.adelaidemetro.com.au/webpoll.html Funny stuff i think the bus stops on Mawson Lakes Blvd 33A,B and ...
