That wouldn’t allow them to send out an SMS to all the people who boarded, say, the 5.25pm X30 from Grenfell St.
At least all the people who scanned the QR code on boarding. Instant notification of close contacts with a live Covid case, advising them to isolate. A smart card, I assume you meant metro card doesn’t allow that.

Yeah exactly right there mate i was on 2727 today and the code read Adelaide Metro 0002727 so for TT that's going to take a few day's with the amount of buses they have

Umm gunzel42 I know the fleet list person quite well and accurate I’m quite knowledgeable myself where buses belong at too
sometimes buses have a short vacation for a day or couple days at other depots

For example 1065 was operating out of Edinburgh North a couple weeks ago for about 2-3 or so days
it has returned home to Morphettville.

According to Fleet lists Busways 2205 has been renumbered R2205 and based out of Lonsdale still is that a mistake and has been moved to Edinburgh depot? Also ex Busways 2207 is missing on fleet lists where has that bus gone?
