Re: SA Gov's Public Transport Plans

["John Wayman" <trecker@optusnet.com.au>]

Why not electrify the suburban rail system and run the same or similar
electric cars on the Glenelg line as well.

Perth and Brisbane had under utilised suburban railways until they were
upgraded.

The O-bahn is Adelaide's best kept secret. Another O-bahn will increase
Adelaide's quirkiness. Light rail extensions would put it on the map!

Cheers
