  1. The #adelaide O-Bahn Klemzig Interchange.

    The O-Bahn is a #bus based mass transit system in Adelaide, South Australia.

    This is probably the most unusual mass transit system I've encountered. The buses run on a dedicated roadway. The frequency of buses was more than one each minute while I observed it. It seems to me the flexibility of using buses (which can go on any road at each end of the system, I assume) rather than rail-based systems would seem to be advantageous for a flexible mass transit system. I wonder whether the operation cost per passenger might be higher than an equivalent rail-based system?
