Probably with the politest bus... by lupercalia
Probably with the politest bus drivers in Australia, Adelaide's bus system is the backbone for public transport.The trains are however in sore need of an upgrade. Still stuck with diesel, TransAdelaide need to take a note out of every other modern cities book and swap to electrical trains. Adelaide's 'Central Station' itself is one-of-a-kind - there are currently no automatic ticket barriers (you have to show yr ticket to a guard before being allowed through the gates). Seems a terrible waste of time for a city that in so many other ways seems to be 'up with the times'.
Ticket prices are cheap, and with no set 'zones' you can travel from Noarlunga through to Elizabeth on the one ticket (provided you can fit the trip within the two hour time limit for each ticket). They work on buses, trains and trams.
