cheapskates, should have built a train or a tram it is outdated tech. diesel busses are not environmentally friendly
@SergioSeidelini Ай бұрын
50% cheaper- like yeah it would be cheaper to build, but actually running this thing over a long time will be much more expensive than a rail line. And also 100 km/h is faster than trains? How slow are your trains?

@tysonspratt8857 5 жыл бұрын
I love how this video dismissed how Adelaide ripped up its sprawling tram network which contributed to the congestion problem as it forced more people into cars. Anyway the Obahn is alright and is fit for purpose but it only caters to on section of Adelaide and sadly buses can't reach the capacity requirements say that of Tram or Trains so the outlay for a new obahn system in most places is not going to be workable unless the said places population stagnates to say late 80s adelaide population levels and even then the cost layout its probably better to integrate with a rail or tram service.

I don't see a rail system along the Torrens ever happening. This is the best we're gonna get, but damn; it's pretty fucking good. I'm about to leave my house, walk for 3 minutes, and take the obahn right to Currie Street. Fucking fantastic.
@EarlJohn61 3 жыл бұрын
issues with the sprawling tram network: 1) during the first world war maintenance of the trams and track was delayed to allow for more money to be spent on armed forces. ( Remember that almost all of the South Australian government's income is from the federal government. ) After WW1 they had to make up the shortfall and it was a struggle, then came the depression. Oops! 2) during WW2 again needed maintenance was delayed, on the already stressed system. 3) then Premier, Tom Playford feared a repeat depression and tried to insulate SA by bringing in heavy industries in the form of car manufacturers. So he saw a double win. Reduce the maintenance costs by removing the tram tracks & convince the Auto manufacturers that the state would NEED lots of cars. Wether you agree with his politics or not it was a very shrewd move. (I'm not sure how much the state had to pay the manufacturers each year... But I'll say that as soon as the state stopped paying they left. Without paying anything back!)

This looks more like it was made in the mid-80’s than 1982. The footage shows the actual O-Bahn Stage 1 track route in testing, not the demonstration track. That wouldn’t have been a possibility in 1982. Also they mention work done in the years since then.

I thought the bus traction were hybrid. On city the motor was used, on the O-Bahn you could shutdown the bus and be propelled by magnetic tracks. Magnetic propulsion for some buses is in use at Porto Alegre/Brazil, India, USA, Japan... Don't know how the use of tons and miles of concrete and regular buses can be environmental friendly. Bus corridors much less costy are in use in Germany, Brasilia, Curitiba, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Argentina, China... with the same 100km/h ou even more and also with electric buses.

The Mandurah (south) and Joondalup (north) train lines are so popular in Perth despite them running in the median of the South and North freeways respectively. Trains on the Mandurah and Joondalup lines can travel at a maximum speed of 130 km/h while averaging at speeds of 72 km/h - 80 km/h with a massive station spacing of 2 km - 7 km. All the train stations on these Mandurah and Joondalup lines have lots of park and ride spaces with fully integrated bus interchanges to transfer seamlessly between trains to feeder bus or cross city bus and vice versa.
