Light rail* modernisation and grade separation when, Jacinta? Become a coalition with the Liberal Party if your team can't hack public transport beyond useless multi-billion dollar megaprojects solely to appease rusted-on Liberal voters in the southeast (Metro Tunnel, SRL).

Adelaide light rail s&#ts all over ours.

* Light rail means all tram lines that don't share their tracks with cars, not just the 96 and 109 e.g. Royal Park, Royal Pde, Flemington Rd, Mt Alexander Rd, Burwood Hwy, Plenty Rd, St Georges Rd, Kings Way, Victoria Pde, Dandenong Rd and several others. The only legacy tram line we have in the entire network is the 78.

W8 981 and Z3 195 at Spencer/Collins Sts near Southern Cross on 6/4/2026 at 5:42PM.

195 was heading towards Victoria St with its desto alternating between "Not taking passengers" and "Tram on TEST", while 981 was off to bed, City Circle trams having already finished for the day despite being all of 5PM and the city crammed full of tourists for another six or so hours. Not long before the photo I also saw a not in service B2 turning from Collins into Spencer towards Crown.
