Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The first Mercedes-Benz bus for Adelaide's new O-Bahn system, the North-East Guided Busway, was unveiled in August 1982 by the South Australian Minister of Transport. When the Adelaide project becomes operational in 1986, it will be the world's second and longest O-Bahn Guided Bus System. Ninety buses are proposed for the guided busway, which will be capable of operating speeds of up to 100 kms hour. Information is provided on the design and construction of the proposed North-East Busway.
