@@bestrto What's stopping busways from having complete right of way? And with busways you have the option of much cheaper level crossings with priorirty signaling
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.
lwf51 sydney's suburban light rail sees extremely heavy use with capacity that buses couldn't match. Also, energy efficiency. Melbourne it's more an issue of imagine every street filled with diesel buses. Then, for them, tram is the defacto mode of transit so using buses outside the cbd will mean customers have to change modes. You're right though, the o-bahn is very flexible like an optimised bus highway where different routes can branch out from the main thoroughfare efficiently connecting more serviceable areas with a hub.
Actually, the idea for this predates the Adelaide O-Bahn by several decades. The Montreal Metro runs on pneumatic, and even before that, the same system was used in Paris. The Adelaide O-Bahn took that idea and applied it to busses. The metro version of this system is rather costly since trains still do carry steel wheels which are used when blowout happen, but the lack of screeching noises is rather nice.
Jonathan Langlois that’s not totally true, like the first commentator said, the technique came from Germany, the trams that are pneumatic also in Venice are based on this. U also can see that on the German name of it. The metro with tires was indeed a few years prior there, but first of all the still got normal rail wheels and tires till this day in Paris for the crossing, just modern system don’t got them anymore, like in Turin. So they are not the same, also how the two different vehicles get their power is different, aswell as the main reason: the purpose and the idea are different ones, not just the technique that is also different in the rail material. The purpose is for the metro to transport many people in a fast time, in big cities. The idea was to got a fast acceleration by a better grip. The idea of the O-Bus/O-Bahn was a cheap alternative to a rail system, for smaller cities, instead of building a whole trans system and a road. So it’s indeed made for connecting suburbs in a fast and cheap way. But one of the most important points was, that the people don’t have to change their vehicle. It’s about a higher flexibility without forcing the people to walk from the bus station into the metro, that’s why the combined in Essen the tram, which is also going under the earth with the O-Bahn. But the guiding wheels are very expensive and don’t last soo long, because of this they were removing the most bus rails, after 35 years. Only one is left, where they don’t get the permission to build a tram which is also going underground and where the busses are sometimes so narrow that humans won’t make it with a highspeed
I don't see how this is any better than a busway, why not just make the road a little wider and just have the driver steer normally? It seems to me like a government gimmick.
Just a bus, it means is the bus is created of this to use the busway line. No traffic jams in the place there. Looks like express busway guess like this is!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
with most of the 224's now only operating as feeders mawson lakes to elizabeth they need this service all the time to town.not everyone up that way wants main north rd and an inferior southlink operated 222 service.
Can't remember when (15 - 20 years ago), plans / idea's floated about extending the O'Bahn to Elizabeth via Golden Grove and proposed route it would follow.
We had O305 buses in Sydney too. They were absolutely magnificent. If it wasn’t for the lack of disability access you could put them back on the road tomorrow and they’d still do well.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-Bahn_Busway. History of the ‘O’ bahn. Yes the busses using the double tracked ‘freeways’ do have small guide wheels which, when they stray into the low concrete sides. then guide the bus back into the middle if they stray.
I see heaps of comments saying Adelaide wasn't the first and other countries had it before. The name O-Bahn itself should give people a clue that it's not an Aussie invention..
Just out of curiosity (I've never seen these before) once you are on the guided pathway part, does the driver have to continue steering the bus or does the guide keep the bus on track?
On kerb-guided buses small guide wheels attached to the bus engage vertical kerbs on either side of the guideway. These guide wheels push the steering mechanism of the bus, keeping it centralised on the track. Away from the guideway, the bus is steered in the normal way.
Noisy but interesting. Have to wonder what the pluses versus the minuses compare to light rail. You'd think they'd use longer buses or the articulated buses to be more cost effective.
Main plus is that once the guided rail path is completed the bus can then merge with normal traffic to take commuters to their final destination without them having to change vehicles.
The strip of land the O-Bahn currently occupies is especially purchased to build the O-bahn track. Here's a brief history of the North Eastern busway " commonly know as the O-Bahn " Adelaide's O-Bahn was introduced in 1986 to service the city's rapidly expanding north-eastern suburbs, replacing an earlier plan for a tramway extension. The O-Bahn provides specially built track, combining elements of both bus and rail systems. Adelaide's track is 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) long and includes three interchanges at Klemzig, Paradise and Tea Tree Plaza. Interchanges allow buses to enter and exit the busway and to continue on suburban routes, avoiding the need for passengers to transfer to another bus to continue their journey beyound the O-Bahn bus network.
I liked the older mercedes O305 they used they were built for the track and were smoother and faster the newer scania are bumpy but they have air conditioning my local bus from the western suburbs cross over to the obahn route 110 then turns 502 to go on the track
It's weird... they make you wear a seatbelt in a car , and fine you heavily if you don't , yet you can ride high speed beasts like this , and trains, yet only seatbelt is on the driver.
Thanks for this - the tram line thingy is neat. But I don't understand it. Why don't they just built two lane roads for buses only instead of all the expense of special roadways and modifying the buses?
Because it keeps the cars off it. The tracks are wide enough for the buses but if a car tries to enter, it hits the sump buster and will fall between the tracks since the wheel width is smaller than the track.
@@jaycee330 No, just built regular roads for buses only. And patrol it with video cameras that take pictures of cars license plates that enter illegally...they work. It would cost a HECK of a lot less then these track things.
A two lane road, (even a one lane road with passing bays) in this location would require MASSIVE amounts of annual maintenance due to it being on or near a river floodplain. Altering an existing road by expanding it enough to take two lanes in each direction would've been politically unacceptable due to the only road candidates in the area being bordered by some people that were/are some of the greatest contributors to the local political partys.
This is a nice concept, but what happens if a bus has a mechanical problem, or a tyre blows? There is no way for the bus to clear the 'track', so the entire line is now useless?
All other busses are temporarily diverted to the nearest road (which is all ready overcrowded) & the operating company has a double headed repair/tow truck that has the appropriate guide wheels & can get to the spot.
this is very cool, I've never seen anything like this, well we have 1 in Jakarta, but nothing close to this level. Specially when you can ride at 80 km/h with a lot of smooth turn. I wonder how did they manage not to hit the curve wall ? Was there like a mechanism which can auto steer the wheel ?
@lwf51 Sorry but must respectfully disagree. The original plan was for a tram and that may have cost more, but could carry far more passengers. O-Ban is only suited to shorter routes because the further you travel from the city, the more passengers will need to use it. So many people were being left standing at the OG Road station by O-Bahn buses that were already packed to the gills, that they had to start sending 3 or 4 buses out nose to tail to take the load. One tram could have done the same job. There is a reason why S.A. is now upgrading its train lines and building more tram lines. That reason is O-Bahn just can't take the load.
lwf51 trains aren’t lunacy when ridership is high enough and can act as additional capacity in bogota BRT ridership is so high they have to upgrade to rail
I hear that alot from visitors from other states that either take a ride to cross off their bucket list or friends saying to take a ride, it's still both a local and overseas tourist attraction after all these years, and alot of them say we need this in (from what every city they are from) they can't believe something like this hasn't been built. It has the lowest overall running cost per passenger kilometre compared to road only bus, light rail tram and heavy trunked rail train public transport operations in Adelaide.
