Improving the System
The Keep SA Moving plan makes improvements to the bus system, better connecting people to places of interest or opportunity. The goal is to ensure:
- All routes will have frequencies of 30 minutes or better during peak and off-peak times
- More frequent service on key corridors
- More evening, late-night and weekend service on key bus routes
The plan also proposes first- and last-mile connections with a goal to:
- Provide access to high-quality service with VIA Link
- Explore partnerships with 3rd-party transportation providers
- Explore new transportation technologies
- Expand service for everyone, including people with disabilities
The goal is to have all routes with frequencies of
30 minutes or better during weekday peak times.
