adelaide’s transport – rail, air, bus, car | biocity studio
DESCRIPTION
The main form of transportation in Adelaide is rail, air, bus and car. Adelaide has a well-defined city layout, with multi lane roads. It was once called the 20 minute city, but not for much longer. Morning peak hour traffic has risen by 30% since 1997. The private car increases urban air pollution, green house gases and ozone layer depletion. Forty private cars are equals to one bus. If transport was improved in the city this would help decrease pollution problems.TRANSCRIPT

-A day : 15km X 44seconds = 11 minutes-A week: 15km X 44seconds X 5 days= 55 minutes-An annually: 15km X 44seconds X 365 days= 48 hours

Currently the people-movement task in Adelaide is dominated by the private car, due to the poor service offered by public transport, road environments , and urban sprawl which increases the distances people must travel to access workplaces, shops and other facilities.
