More than 90 bus and train timetables have been overhauled on the Adelaide public transport network, with increased service frequency along the O-Bahn Busway, additional services along Norwood Parade, and changes to services on the southern side of Adelaide.
From September 27 new routes will begin operating across the city.
The service changes are part of an on-going strategy to revitalise Adelaide’s public transport network.
The centrepiece of the strategy is the multi-billion dollar investment to upgrade and extend Adelaide’s rail and bus network and dramatically expand the fleet of buses, trains and trams.
