This is so smart. It has all the benefits of a tram, and is also compatible with the rest of the road system.

[Sarge]

Yeah, did that journey in 2007 just to experience it, and yeah, it was worth it.
Ideal for an old city with sprawling new suburbs. The buses use existing city centre roads but get rapid transit to the outer districts.

As someone that lives in Adelaide, I never realised how weird this type of bus system is to the rest of the world.

[jonescheungchichung]

Combining buses with track rails as Right-of-way category A is a genius method to increase the performance of this transit.

[disan]

Wow, I am really amazed. I did not know this type of transportation existed. It is definitely unique.

[ICXR]

What the f-

It’s like train tracks for buses

[swainer]

Never heard or seen such a thing. How interesting. Hell, I had to look up where this was. Nice work Australia!

[Adelaide_Transit]

As Adelaide grows I feel that at some point it will become practical to upgrade the o-bahn to a underground and above ground metro system which covers the north eastern suburbs, cbd and port but at Adelaides current size it’s not needed but will be practical sometime in the next 10 years or so.

Are you a bus or a train?
O-bahn: *yes*

[watson]

11:41 信号が赤から青に変わる前に先に右折車を通すのいいと思う
日本もこうすればいいのになって思う交差点結構あるよね

[camf]

This would be the perfect solution for long distance trucking between Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Townsville etc

[davidwest]

Needs to be re-filmed, it now starts with a new tunnel out of the city under the parklands and the stretch of road that was under construction has dedicated bus lanes now.

[OneRoomShed]

This is so cool!!! I've never seen anything like this before. 👍👍

[DocMicrowave]

Now this is what I call an express bus!

[Korr_o]

This is a such briliant system! Far more flexible than some normal trams or rail, yet with the high capacity of them. Why isnt it used more? Shit, I'd take something like this anytime in Warsaw.

[pieterfaber]

Not sure of foreign language comments - the whole point of the O-Bahn is the ability of the bus to get to its end point destination quickly via the guided rail and then revert to normal road bus. For. Lot of passengers this means they stay on the same vehicle instead of getting off cf light rail. The shame in Adelaide is they can’t make their minds up - the city has a random mix of teams, trains, buses and O’Bahn. ps. despite the sound track from the outside the O’Bahn is way quieter than any rail or tram system

[lachd]

Still a great piece of infrastructure.

[itsshalevfromtaxidashcamer]

What a beauty! I wish there would be such a fast transport system in Israel. It's like railroad tracks.

[jacksonlee]

Is this the only city with a dedicated and isolated bus route[s)?

[Bobrogers]

Light rail isn't as flexible as buses, and it would be more expensive to construct, but it is cheaper to operate when you have large numbers of people to move to and from specific places. These busways are cost-effective here now, and if, at a later date, the volume increases significantly, they can be modified for rail use.
