You picked the right time to make a video. Pretty much all of the current O-Bahn fleet will not be running on it within the next 5-10 years. The O305s and O305Gs will be retired soon, the SL202s may be taken off due to gearbox problems, the L94UBs are coming off due to vibration problems and the K230UBs engines aren't coping too well.
because I meant to reply to somebody elses message, instead it came up at the top of the page instead of under someones comment. btw our trains are ownage too!
I am on holidays in Adelaide at the moment. When we were coming in to land on the plane I saw these really weird rails, I thought they were train rails at first but they looked to wide to be. Then we decided to check out Tea Tree Plaza. As we where nearly out of the city on the bus, the bus turned down some the o Bahn... at first I thought it was just a random bus lane till I realised it was the weird rails I saw when flying over on the plane. I thought it was amazing. I live in Melbourne where it is more train dominated. But Adelaide is mostly bus dominated as I soon realised.

15 years later:
The o-Bahn “I’m still standing after all this time…. YEAH YEAH YEAH!”
that man sl202 419 sound is fucking awesome I love the roar
Bit of image stabilisation wouldnt go amiss....
the 0405 makes me beg to differ!!!
There are 3 interchanges Klemzig, Paradise and Tea Tree Plaza
An order for new O-Bahn buses (60 rigid and 100 articulated) is due to be announced soon.
thats awesome
Those would be the guide wheels.
Wow! Even the new buses are having problems. I wonder how TT will get out of that mess.
Only one L94UB runs on the O-Bahn ( 1238 ) the others have been removed. And there are now more K230UB's, now numbered to 1444.
Indeed, I really don't see the point in extending it.
But hey people were saying the same thing about the tram and now everyone uses it.
I see.
I'm just wondering why Rann has decided to extend the O-Bahn to West Tce.
Nothing quite like the sound of reduction hubs at 100kmh!!!

I'm from Brisbane, my mate told me about this, he says its a death trap
How?
May I ask, but do MAN SG280H's still run on the O-Bahn?
the way I see it I like the man sl202 diesel and Mercedes benz 0305 not the scania shit that replaced the whole buses
I already know about Dumbo ryan. (Referring top point 4.)
how the bus keeps on the tracks?
Antonio romero sch they have guiding wheels at the front of the bus.

Look at near the front wheel. There is a little wheel this is called a guide wheel. That steers the bus on the O-Bahn.
No.. they were taken out of service due to turntabling problems.
The way I see it is. The O-bahn a great success and a disaster at the same time.
