Thanks for watching as always!
As a lifetime resident of Adelaide, hello! I think it's funny that I've had to rely on a visitor's video to see a passenger's perspective on the O-Bahn. I've never set foot on one. It doesn't go anywhere I want to go.
It's interesting, but I don't see the advantage. They had to build a dedicated bus right-of way and install the necessary track components and put special equipment on the bus, plus have a driver. Why not make the dedicated right of way a normally paved bus-only roadway and just drive on it? Saves the extra track cost, special bus gear and operator training.
For those wondering why the speed limit was lowered, the Articulated buses have stability issues in the turntable at higher speeds. It was not deemed safe to have them travel at 100 kph. same thing goes for the ones not O'Banh equipped. Speed limiters are set to 85kph.
Due to a Linear Park following the River Torrens which intersects in places with the O-Bahn track, this creates a corridor from the Adelaide Hills to Adelaide; this allows native animals to move through the trees and scrub, and includes Koalas and Kangaroos. Some of the animals following the River Torrens to the sea, can make it all the way to the beach.
You were lucky you didn't encounter any
Kuga-san I really hope you are enjoying your time here 🇦🇺 I also hope you got to see some of the Vivid festival in Sydney! Don't be surprised by anything you see, we do things a little differently "down 'ere" 😆
Since 2005 there is no guided bus system in germany any more. The buses were getting too old and new buses are too wide for the existing system.
So happy i don't live here, i don't know if i would be able to stop myself from driving a semi over the track just to see if i can keep it on the tracks myself
Basically, the front guiding wheels and the tracks are just like the Tamiya track 4WD cars.
That's not a Koala, it's a Drop Bear. Be careful.

Aaahhhh the O-bahn! I grew up in Adelaide and used to catch this every day. I never expected to see it on your channel!
Thank you for sharing your lovely journey. I love seeing beautiful new places. ❤
Thank you Kuga for visiting my country i am looking forward to seeing more of your visit
１２年間アデレードに住んでいますが、まだ乗ったことがありません。このチャンネルでO-Bahnを見て驚きました！アデレードを呼び物にして、ありがとうございます。アデレードは静かで小さな町ですが、生活の質が高くてとても住みやすい場所です。😊
I think this is brilliant. New generation busses & tracks could be electrified with the side guide wheels being used as a pantographs and have powered side walls. Could definitely work.
Thank you for another grand video! I've ridden the guided bus system in Cambridgeshire, UK, which replaced the O-Bahn as the longest system of its type in the world. Next time you visit the UK, I recommend that you take a look!
Can't wait to see your next video! 😁 Really like this one! 😁
The section through the tunnel, shown near the end of your video, is guided too … but of a different design compared to the track along Linear Park. I live in Adelaide and the O-Bahn is very convenient because of its high frequency and speed (given it runs on a dedicated right of way). Thanks for the video! 😊
