    btw I've just come back from Melbourne and their PT system blows us away. Yes there are issues over there, but its expected with a city of 4.5 million people

    You would think that this government in its attempt to get people on to PT would have provided more services and better stations. Along with some grade separations at Torrens Road, Brighton Road Hove, Oaklands Station and Kings Road Parafield we could have got the system we deserve.

    The frequency of services to Belair on weekends has not changed in 15 years, its time for at least a 40 min frequency.

    Then providing services with a single carriage (eg. the 1646 Belair) is simply not on. Especially with the number of free rail carriages now.
