  • Re-Imagining Adelaide's Public Transport by Andrew Leunig 28 August 2013
    Re-imagining Adelaide's Public Transport By Andrew Leunig 28 August 2013 With some further notes as at 20 March 2015 (at rear) Re-imagining Adelaide's Public Transport Exec Summary I believe that Adelaide could be the most livable and most learning City on the Planet. The “most liveable” city in the world will get the balance between Public and Private transport right. It will be “liveable” for the old and the young, the rich and the poor. Why couldn't Adelaide have the cleverest, most vibrant public transport system for a town of it's size on the planet ? No Reason at all. But we have to want it first. At the moment our Public Transport mode share (9.9%) is about the lowest in Australia and that is our accepted norm. Even our state plan is soft and timid. “Increase the use of public transport to 10% of metropolitan weekday passenger vehicle kilometres travelled by 2018”. I like the old saying "If you shoot for the stars you might not get there ­ but you are less likely to come up with fists full of mud". At the moment our state plan shoots for the mud. The solution ? We need to re­imagine our network design. As recommended by leading experts we should toss out our current hub (city) and spoke design and design our Network around the very layout that Adelaide is globally famous for ­ our grid. I propose that we create The Adelaide Metro Grid ­ with buses running frequently in a straight line along our major roads, where transfers are presumed and every major intersection becomes a transfer point.
