Just a question in regard to the "Footy Express" services. Why?? do they display SA Lotteries on the destination as well. Is it because the buses are paid/chartered by SA Lotteries or some part of a sponsorship deal?? I remember back in my childhood days when here in Hobart (TAS) we also used to have 8-9 buses for the football (even a roster game). Nowdays we only have (1) artic, and that's for the Grand Final. To be honest, I don't think even that one ran last year.

SA Lotteries sponsor the Footy Express services in the AdelaideMetro area. The services are free for game ticket holders and on Adelaide Crows games there is in excess of 100 buses used, probably about half that for Port Adelaide games.

I think the last figure I heard bandied around was that the buses carry about 22% of the crowd on average. Not a bad effort really.
