Make the metro card available in smartphone wallets.

That would be a great idea, especially for tourists.

Bus service improvements
10 Jul 2023
From Monday 24 July, we're introducing bus service improvements across Adelaide to provide better frequency and give commuters better access to public transport.

Five areas of Adelaide will benefit from additional or enhanced bus services, including:

the new suburb of Riverlea Park, to be connected with Virginia, Salisbury and Elizabeth via new bus routes 402 and 450 (replacing bus route 900).
Lightsview with bus route 206 to be upgraded to ‘Go Zone’ frequency.
Croydon Park and Dudley Park with modified bus routes 230 and 232 returned via Days Road, Pym Street and Harrison Road.
Glenalta, Blackwood, Hawthorndene and Belair to receive more frequent trips to the City on weekends via bus routes 195 and 196.
Salisbury, Parafield Gardens, Paralowie and Mawson Lakes to receive timing changes to bus route 411 for better connectivity with rail services.

A "free connector" would never get off the ground, there is no money at Adelaide Metro to do that.....but does the local council run a community bus?

Personally I would like to see the 254 extended to Semaphore on a permanent basis. It already exists in this form as a night bus and would break the mould of all buses terminating at Port Adelaide.

There is even a way to pay for it. Delete the 157 section between Largs Bay and West Lakes and use those kilometres for the 254 Semaphore extension.

All good suggestions above. If light rail is out of the question how about a new electric bus shuttle service from Semaphore Jetty to Dock 2 Maritime Village (City of Adelaide Clipper Ship) via Semaphore Rd, Swan Tce, Hart St, Jervois Bridge, past Hart’s Mill, St Vincent St, new Port Dock Station, (with nearby new Dock1 footbridge just approved), and Perkins Drive (proposed new homemaker’s centre). Currently there’s no service at all on Semaphore Rd, Swan Tce or western St Vincent St. This would benefit tourists, visitors and currently underserviced locals as well as providing a great sightseeing trip for cruise ship visitors etc. Port Adelaide Council currently have community busses providing various assistance to residents, with volunteer drivers, so probably wouldn’t be able to run a regular schedule, but if Adelaide Metro won’t come to the party maybe the council could operate a service similar to the Adelaide City Connector.
