Whether that means another new network proposal or a more localised approach with the operator's input, I have no clue.

Re: Knoll faces Liberal Party revolt on bus cuts
Well, the so called "Bus Stops Fiasco" has been dumped, as has the planned closures of the SA Service Centres - there was probably a near cabinet revolt over these two proposals, noting how unpopular they both were with the general public.
Common sense has prevailed and probably fear of an electoral backlash at the next election. Our Transport Minister has lost out all round!!

Too late the 333 has already been f****d.

So does this mean the proposed new routes are off the table?

Re: Knoll faces Liberal Party revolt on bus cuts
Great, so Adelaide’s 20 year old and outdated system will remain dysfunctional
While I agree with most that the New Network wasn’t perfect, I believe with a few adjustments in some areas (and a rethink of route numbers in the OSCA, ONCA, and Hills) it could have modernised our system

I agree it never did-it was always an Outer South Route. This person is getting his route numbers mixed up.The Phonj wrote: ↑Mon Jun 29, 2020 5:46 pm734 has never gone to Blackwood.Big Engine Mechanic wrote: ↑Mon Jun 29, 2020 5:16 pm

Re: Knoll faces Liberal Party revolt on bus cuts
Most embarrassing my partner at the time even rang up metro to find out where I was when I missed the bus, I clearly remember it being 734, big argument about it, had a chat with the bus driver about it the next day back when you could talk to the bus drivers, I had the same bus driver everyday he was really friendly to everybody and on his last day before retirement, he pranked everyone by wearing thease odd glasses and personally got off the bus to give everyone a hug at each stop.

That's what I ment paywalled. I agree, the only thing I like about him is how he does his hair and smart dress. You can tell he is still growing into a man and that will take many years to come, some people take a lifetime to learn differences.

The whole problem with the government is there are too many chiefs and not enough indians.
