A strategy for the future of South Australia’s public transport network
Tuesday, 20 May 2025
South Australians are being invited to help shape the state’s public transport network for the next 30 years through face-to-face engagement sessions and an online survey.
Following the launch of the Department’s first Transport Strategy earlier this year, consultation for South Australia’s Public Transport Strategy begins this week, giving community and stakeholders the opportunity to weigh in on what’s important for the future of public transport.
South Australia’s public transport network aims to connect people to where they need to go, now and in the future, by providing convenient, frequent and efficient services, making public transport the travel mode of choice.
A growing population and increasing public transport patronage, as well as rising traffic congestion, are key factors in why South Australia needs to future-proof this network to addresses the needs of the state for the next 30 years.
Feedback on the current and future needs of South Australians will be recorded through an online survey, as well as through industry engagement, to inform a Public Transport Strategy that will help support the Department in making public transport and infrastructure decisions.
To complement this work, a Regional Public Transport Review will also commence this month.
The Regional Review seeks to better understand the movement of people and how it uses public transport services within regional communities. This will identify current needs and gaps in current services and opportunities to improve efficiency and sustainability of services across the State.
South Australia has an extensive regional public transport network that includes 19 different regions, and the Regional Review will provide recommendations to enhance this network.
Feedback can be provided by attending face-to-face sessions in regional hubs including Port Lincoln, Whyalla, Mount Gambier, Renmark and Victor Harbor, as well as online. Details of the face-to-face sessions and the online survey for both the Regional Review and the Public Transport Strategy can be found here.
Engagement with communities and stakeholders on the Public Transport Strategy and Regional Review is being conducted at the same time, to provide the Department with a full picture of the public transport needs across the state.
