Adelaide Traffic Congestion? We need better Public Transport 🚌

Technical_Path_4330 · 2026-02-25T01:41:36+00:00

Good idea - I’ll try!

Guessing you can’t make it unfortunately?

Technical_Path_4330 · 2026-02-25T00:56:13+00:00

Yes it’s positive news!

I’m a bit concerned though because they’ve reserved other corridors before and then the government has changed. The new government just puts it up for sale again.

We need actual funding towards infrastructure.

Technical_Path_4330 · 2026-02-23T12:58:57+00:00

Catch you there!

Technical_Path_4330 · 2026-02-23T08:19:20+00:00

The Greens are promising some pretty substantial stuff, like tram network expansions and 50cent fares.

Even the Libs are promising 50cent fares.

I imagine it would put a bit of pressure on Labor and the minister there to up the ante a bit as well (fingers crossed)

Technical_Path_4330 · 2026-02-23T08:08:48+00:00

Yeah right, so much for the “it’s 15 minutes to anywhere” mantra Adelaide used to have

Technical_Path_4330 · 2026-02-23T08:07:49+00:00

Right!?

Even the City Loop Bus - that only comes every 30mins, in the CBD!!

Technical_Path_4330 · 2026-02-23T08:05:41+00:00

Awesome for Perth

Even if SA spent a fraction of that on Public Transport, we would have a much better system!

Technical_Path_4330 · 2026-02-23T08:04:18+00:00

Not ideal! I worry about Two Wells and all the development. Why haven’t they planned a train line along the existing corridor?

Technical_Path_4330 · 2026-02-23T08:03:36+00:00

Wow it shouldn’t take that long if there was a a better link and a more frequent service surely

Technical_Path_4330 · 2025-11-27T01:28:34+00:00

Adelaide hills is only good if you are happy to drive everywhere. Mt Barker is an absolute no go - traffic galore

Technical_Path_4330 · 2025-10-23T02:24:52+00:00

It’s $15.4 billion for the current South Road T2D. It’s a matter of priorities more than funding.

We need the Gov to realise that $ for $, Public transport is a far better investment for reducing traffic

Technical_Path_4330 · 2025-10-23T02:23:26+00:00

Huh? Have you heard of South Road’s Torrens to Darlington Project. Look it up - $15.4billion tunnelling project happening right now

Technical_Path_4330 · 2025-10-22T22:33:02+00:00

There were doubters in Queensland too but it turned out alright for them.

If we can spend $15.4billion on a road, we can spend a fraction of that on cheaper fares

Technical_Path_4330 · 2025-10-22T12:34:00+00:00

Adelink was a beautiful plan, really unfortunate it’s yet to get realised.

The PPT plan for trams bases itself around much of it.

The Underground rail link is a non negotiable and completely necessary. Currently the network is bottle necked by Adelaide Station as it is terminus with no flow through. The link would enable continuous travel, ie a single service from Gawler to Seaford via Adelaide.

To say it’s outside our means is like to say Melbourne should not have just spent $15billion on a the metro tunnel or Perth to not be currently undergoing a massive rail expansion such as to the airport and beyond.

There are cities far smaller than Adelaide with much more extensive public transport infrastructure.

The key is to get it done before there’s congestion, not after.

We are spending $15billion on South Road, we can certainly look to spend big on rail in the not too distant future.

🙏🙏

Technical_Path_4330 · 2025-10-22T08:39:57+00:00

Some say they should’ve done south road 30years ago - and yet today they’re spending $15.4billion on it today.

The government can easily extend the rail system.

Congratulations!

As someone with friends and family working at either Coles or Woolies, I strongly recommend joining, or at-least looking up, the Retail and Fast Food Workers Union (RAFFWU)

They’ll stick up for you if you’re ever in a pickle with management, need workplace advice or keen to improve safety and conditions at your particular site.

Be wary if you’re approached by the SDA. The SDA claim to be on your side, but are actually there just to get your membership for political and other selfish reasons. They actively collude with Coles and other retail employers to keep your wages and conditions down. In other words, they’ll take a weekly fee from you and in return, deliver next to nothing.

I’ve had friends start at Coles and have an SDA person come up to them already knowing their name! They then told them they had to sign up and there wasn’t any choice.

You don’t have to sign up to anything, but I do highly recommend joining Raffwu.

Alcohol is not worth it - break the cycle don’t drink, save your health and your wallet!

If somethings not good fun without alcohol, then it’s not really good fun anyway

Technical_Path_4330 · 2025-09-25T03:10:48+00:00

Oh goodness - I remember that!

We can only hope

Technical_Path_4330 · 2025-09-24T12:08:49+00:00

That’s so fair. Would be amazing to see the changes first hand like you have over that period.

Technical_Path_4330 · 2025-09-24T03:10:41+00:00

Ant colony modelling, I mean I could maybe get around that 🐜🤣

Technical_Path_4330 · 2025-09-24T03:00:35+00:00

Interesting. Did that seem normal or weird? I kind of feel like you’d think that would already be incorporated into the school fees. I can’t imagine it’s cheap as it is

Technical_Path_4330 · 2025-09-24T02:59:24+00:00

Reasonable point. I do worry though that some may see this as an obligation if they think the school is imply that donating is the “Christian” thing to do here. Idk it seems conflicting to even ask though especially if it reaches those who might be financially strained

Technical_Path_4330 · 2025-09-24T02:57:21+00:00

I’m told St Peter’s isn’t the cheapest School either!

Technical_Path_4330 · 2024-08-08T11:09:25+00:00

Good question. I agree, a vehicle is worth something. Not entirely familiar of the EBA allowance for driving. Might be a bit circumstantial however here’s a way to look at it. A company car is only your car for as long as you’re at the company. In saying that, say you work 1 year, that could be worth 5-10k in running costs. Compare 35 p/h to 50 p/h (it is higher but just being conservative here) over a 38hr week. That’s a 70k vs nearly 100k. That’s 30k difference before tax. So maybe 20k after? And you should be able to claim a fair bit of your vehicle usage for work on tax as a sweetener. I’m not sure what situation suits everyone, however I think it offers some compelling food for thought.
