I think what you guy’s (and girls) are doing is wonderful. If people would listen to these amazing ideas, the world would be a much better place. Keep it up… it will pay off.

Well, Tindo is all very well but Adelaide also has a massive petrol powered bus fleet, an inadequate rail system (not electrified either) and the controversery about a small extension to the existing tram line (there is only one) had to be seen to be believed.
Meanwhile the happy drivers of Adelaide continue to make 75% of commuter journeys by car (overwhelmingly single occupant journeys as well) and this is in a city of less than 1 million people that is flat and ideally suited for cycling and walking, so while the government is leading it isnt leading the recalcintrant populace bravely or undertaking the massive infrastructure programs that are urgently needed here.

Calling Brisbane – how about you step up to the plate????? Your bus fleet is giving you grief, and you are in dire need of increased PT capacity…….

Surely this represents the opportunity of the century………

I’m actually living in the city of Vilnius, Lithuania right now, so I can attest to the convenience and efficiency of the trolleybuses. Around the entire city, over the trolley routes, there are wires that the buses connect to from above, using two antennae-like flexible rods. So the entire system is electric, and saves a huge amount of greenhouse gases, but I’m not sure how much of that electricity comes from environmentally healthy sources. It’s surprisingly reliable, and i think it’s a good choice for a system to implement elsewhere. Interestingly, it was designed and set up during the soviet period over 25 years ago, as mentioned.

Well in our city ( Vilnius)( it is loceted in north europe, so where can’t be used a sollar energy) we use queit simple way ofto cause this problem, we use trolebuses. well thei are’nt such buses as mentioned in falowing article, it has no rail (only ordinary wheels), but it is conected to whe wires, hanging over the streets, so it’s a envoromentfriendly way of transport. Actually this system works more than 25 years.

its time we moved as much of our city’s critical economic infrastructure into renewal electricity as we can as soon as we can. congrats to the City of Adelaide for showing the way.
