“They do need to have a good look at the maintenance of the O-Bahn,” said Hook. Hook cautioned, however, that the O-Bahn was now more than 30 years old, and the Government needed to be sure the existing track was “viable” before extending it. “I would think it would be one of the potentially more important public transport (projects) that is worth investigating,” he said. He added that he supported the announcement. “Sometimes you need to do (that) for transport projects,” he said. “We just need to work out not just what the costs are but I guess what that additional benefit would be of having a track over a road-based solution,” he said.įormer Transport Department chief executive Rod Hook told InDaily he did not know whether the extension would require compulsory property acquisitions for demolition. Mullighan told ABC Radio Adelaide this morning that the study would consider “what the possible alignments are, whether it’s a new track that needs to be installed – similar to what we’ve currently got on the O-Bahn – or whether we try and augment the existing road network, for example, Golden Grove Road, to try and get some extra capacity on there so that the buses can effectively run as express along that road”. “Possible routes will be considered as part of the feasibility study.” ![]() “It is too early to say which route an extension of the O-Bahn bus network would likely take,” the spokesperson told InDaily in response. Golden Grove Road is surrounded by parks on both sides for much of its length – however, at some points, the boundaries of houses and businesses come near to the road.Īsked whether the extension would necessitate houses being demolished, a Government spokesperson did not rule out the possibility.
