If I've read my history correctly, the Tonsley line was only really built as a siding to serve the then newly built Chrysler (later Mitsubishi) factory, with passenger service being provided for Chrysler staff, and for nearby residents that could utilise the (peak hour) return service. This may go s...

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadspectrum this occurred in November 2015

Stop W1 North Tce has been replaced with the new style.

That depends. If the service is infrequent, I'd rather an actual timetable rather than being told the bus runs every two hours.

Sadly the Metrocard system only requires passengers to touch on; so the detailed travel pattern data available from a tap on/touch off system is not available.

32 (via 167 or 168?) originally finished at Novar Gardens, near corner of Pine Av and Bonython Av. Through-routed with route 16 to Glen Osmond. First routes with full-time one man operation. 32 extended to Glenelg (still as route 32) in early 1970s. 32 to Novar Gardens via Marion Rd and Mooringe Av...

Tour: "Night Moves", Saturday 20 February 2021 Join BPASA on Saturday 20 February 2021 and re-trace some of the former after-midnight routes! Over the years we’ve had a few brands that covered these services; Night Moves (Later MAC NightMoves), Wandering Star, and most recently After-Midnight (cover...

The desire is obviously to reduce the fare costs for those travelling extended distances. Fair enough. One disadvantage with a zonal fare structure is where there is a hard zone boundary, it can cost an extraordinary amount of money to travel short distances, providing that the travel is over a zone...

Seems unusual to have timetables starting on a Wednesday; but in saying that it seems silly to have a special lot of shifts for one school holiday day.

I seem to have a recollection of a route that travelled from Aberfoyle Hub and did a loop of Oakridge Rd and Homestead Dr before returning to Aberfoyle Hub during the 69x days - although the route number escapes me right now.

A New Year is upon us; Congratulations!! We all made it through the old one :D Reviewing 2020..... The Bus Preservation Association of South Australia was launched. Visit their website at http://www.bpasa.org.au for more information. The last CNG MAN SL202 was retired on 30 June 2020. A new livery w...

Electric bus 1788 has reappeared at Mile End depot.

Problem with tweaking the times for the 600/601 to coincide with trains at Flinders may mean a loss of connectivity to trains at Blackwood. I think that train connection may be slightly more important than one at Flinders.

Torrens Transit CNG MAN NL202 1669 has a new AOA, for the Fringe festival 2021.

The Bus Preservation Association of South Australia was formed in 2019 by a group of bus enthusiasts – all of whom owned retired buses from SA. Noting a high level of interest in their restored buses from the public, they decided that they could achieve more by forming an official group. With over t...

It's entirely possible that once electrification is complete, a new Gawler line timetable will be implemented.

1184 and 1185 have had the 'R' removed from their number.

As the creator of these threads, I would like to apologise if it has distracted from the intent of the Lunch Room. I really like discussing on this forum (that’s not including the trivia and word games), so if it has been a distraction (and to be fair I think it has), I am ok for them to be removed...

I saw 1354 in traffic this afternoon

Never been too sure on that but if that's happening that's good, all I know is members on here have told me you just get what ever bus you are given and yet a few years ago I used to know this bus driver that would always try and get the old diesel manual buses when starting his shift so I don't kn...

The TVMs are still on board to purchase single trip tickets, and recharge Metrocards.

That would be good ! The only "Dine in all you can eat Pizza hut left in Adelaide I think is the one next to Marion shopping centre unfortunately. Unfortunately the dining room is currently closed, due to the current situation. In any case, even if the dining room were open, it would be "a la carte...

The small signs you find in the windscreens were traditionally Run numbers when the buses were Government run. Torrens Transit display the shift number; which consists of four digits. The first digit indicates the depot, the second digit indicates the shift type and the last two digits are a number;...

September is here, the weather should start to warm up soon. Normally I'd make mention of the Royal Show, and its extra services, which would have started this Friday, the 4th. However restrictions imposed this year caused by COVID-19 have cancelled the show for this year. The Royal Agricultural and...

Looking at the description on the Adelaide Metro website, it appears to be a separate validator to the current ones, and does not accept Metrocards.
