This is how ViewSonic monitors are born.

If they're not already using or planning on using electric buses then maybe that's all they need. I don't know if this busway could be electrified without fencing more of it off. Some parts are kinda open and slightly elevated and run alongside walking tracks.

Next they should electrify that convenient-looking fixed guideway and replace diesel buses with electric ones that can charge while on it.

The track can be prefab sections, drainage is simplified, less concrete, and the driver only has to deal with throttle and brakes.

After some rabbit hole reading, it sounds like narrower roads at higher speed is the main difference. And the driver doesn't need to stear.

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. The 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. Buses can travel at a maximum speed of 100 km/h (60 mph), but have been restricted to a 90 km/h (55 mph) speed limit since 2016. As of 2015, the busway carried approximately 31,000 people per weekday.[2] An additional section including a 670-metre (2,200 ft) tunnel opened in 2017 at the city end to reduce the number of congested intersections buses must traverse to enter the Adelaide city centre.[3]

Straight from the Wikipedia. Seems like it allows busses to transfer to different parts of the city using the tram systems right of way, bypassing busy streets. They can hop on and off on certain spots. Pretty clever really.

Dunno. I'm new to Adelaide. Also only seems to be north east Adelaide so possibly it's main advantage is the area it runs through. Maybe other options wouldn't work.

what advantage does this have over a normal road exclusively for buses?

Iceland pros:

• Unmatched natural beauty

Iceland cons:

• Expensive as all hell
• Car-dominated to a disturbing degree

I just got back from there on 25th, weather was awesome, people are realy amiable and digitalisation is everywhere (paying with digital wallet/card and skipping the receipt everywhere is so fluent and futuristic).

While prices at turist spots are relatevly high (cca. 20-25€ for regular main course), to me beer prices seemed more blown out of proportion.

I went there in March. I thought it was pretty good but I was also starving lol. They have a lot of beer on tap that we didn’t have time to try.

Iceland as a whole rules. Highly recommend visiting for a week if you can.

ooh boy does it overheat these days

that's the reason I temporarily escaped to Iceland
going from 35+°C (95+°F), daily, to cosy 15-25°C (59-77°F) felt heavenly

Looks to me like they're on the "real life" server. Everyone hates that server, it's on a way too old os, and is starting to overheat

Uuh,
white sand is like a frying pan on a summer day so I can't imagine how much more painfull black sand would be

How coarse was sand on Vanuatuan beach?
This one felt realy coarse

Luckly as this one is so close to north pole (and due to weather, temps were about 15°C (59°F))

Does skip in step and little jump count as real world upvote

Hey, at least weather is similar (currently)

I love the volcanic black sand. I experienced it in Vanuatu. It is super rough on hot days if your feet are bare however. 🔥

I love you for sharing it with is on the opposite end of the globe! It's 17,000km from Reykjavik to Melbourne - about 85% to antipode distance!

yeah, should have,
but unfortunatly didn't think about it at the time
I was too excited with find to think
