My view is that free PT might increase ridership among existing users but wouldn't do much to expand patronage and certainly wouldn't improve services in a way that would attract more people. Indeed, service quality would likely decrease due to forgone revenue and increased costs. Equity issues can...

After how much money has been fixing the South Eastern Freeway , whereas how much of that money could be put in to upgrading road between Murray Bridge and Truro or a southern bypass (the B34) the descent of Willunga Hill (Victor Harbor Road) wouldn't be perfect but at least a runaway truck would c...

Apparently the stop line on Cross Road is to be moved back 100m so that cars don't get stopped by a red light in the space that runaway trucks coming down the SE Freeway need to go through before crashing into the fountain. Has anyone heard what treatment is intended to protect cyclists in the Cross...

This is a big concern for competition in the local market. The ACCC should be replaced with a new body with teeth. Before this acquisition, were there any BP-owned fuel outlets in South Australia? If not, this transaction doesn't change the number of competitors. OTR bought a lot, if not all, BP-ow...

Wow never knew that. I've pondered the "what if Adelaide was in X place instead"..Goolwa/Hindmarsh island out towards Finnis, Currency Creek, Milang and Clayton Bay.. Dredged the waterways, a CBD located where Goolwa North is, the City spilling across onto the western point of Hindmarsh I...

Fine. On the one hand there is apparently extensive modelling and evidence from crashes to support the change. On the other hand there are those complaining that a drive through this section will take an extra 30 seconds under ideal conditions with this change. On the other other hand there are tho...

at least my solution gives the truck driver an option to live Nort's solution has the potential to slow down a truck gradually enough to save the driver if "engineered" means they bend/resist a certain amount of force then yield to the next one so the truck doesn't stop in the length of t...

Port Adelaide on any given day is practically a ghost town and its not a PT pivot point either unlike the CBD. There's simply no comparison to be made. In my opinion Port Adelaide arguably represents one of the state's best opportunities in the near-term for both a commercial hub outside of the CBD...

I didn't I'm not sure you can blindly blame "the media" - even social media. I'm pretty sure it was "the media" who told me there were multiple candidates for preselection in the safe seat I live in. It was "the Party" (or the faceless men in the back room) who chose t...

So they should kick a few dollars into this instead of relying on state government funding. ACC seems to be quite capable of asserting that the entire state benefits from infrastructure that any other council would fund for itself - community swimming pool for example. Do be fair, the number of peo...

this seems unnecessary Some people regard all speed limits are unnecessary. It's clear that the people who understand these things have decided there is sufficient reason to change it. They say it will improve safety and reduce crashes, based on modelling and reviews. I guess time will tell if the ...

I live in a street right on the edge of the suburbs, in an estate that this release was opened for sale about 14 years ago. This release was marketed as being dotted with mature trees. I think the developers had removed as much as they could before it went on sale. I'd say about half of the remainin...

majority are, not all we have proof of that from 2019-2021 era I didn't say there was no point I said it was not realistic to expect the majority will make better choices as you put it due to the control the media have over the narrative abc. Seriously. You can't just call everyone stupid all the t...

As part of the ACCs new city plan they are advocating for a city loop as part of their strategy 6. https://meetings.cityofadelaide.com.au/mgChooseDocPack.aspx?ID=938 So they should kick a few dollars into this instead of relying on state government funding. ACC seems to be quite capable of assertin...

Most public discourse of the "problem" seeks to introduce engineered "solutions" that rely on a panicked driver (who has likely already made at least one mistake) suddenly choosing to do something that is dangerous to themselves in the hopes of not injuring some hypothetical othe...
