The train line is closed, so the fastest way to the city is to jump on your bike On the bus, it took Scott Hosking 70 minutes to reach the CBD.

IF you're looking for the fastest way to get into town during the Belair rail line closure, forget the car, ditch the bus and get on your bike. Accountant Scott Hosking spent a week trying to find the quickest route into the CBD from his Coromandel Valley home. Over five days, Mr Hosking, 23, drove, ran, cycled two different routes and took the substitute bus service to his South Tce office. The fastest journey - 40 minutes - was driving to the Lynton bike trail and cycling into town. Running from the Blackwood roundabout into the city took 60 minutes. Two wheels than four was better for Scott Hosking. He found when riding from Blackwood it took him 45 minutes to reach the CBD, while along the Lynton bike trail it was 40 minutes.

"I have a running background so was able to keep a decent pace," Mr Hosking said. I left at 7.15am and managed to get into work 60 minutes later. This means I can run faster than what I can drive in at the moment. Pounding the pavement it took Scott Hosking 60 minutes of running from the Blackwood roundabout to get into the CBD. I saw one of the B1 buses and I kept an eye on it the whole way but then I overtook it. I guess it was quite funny and a bit of a shock," he said He said the Hills did not have decent public transport options. "Having lived in quite a few areas around Adelaide, I can safely say Blackwood is the worst in terms of transport," he said. It seems ridiculous they are trying to build more homes in the area (in) Blackwood Park before improving infrastructure. On four wheels and in comfort, the trip to the CBD took Scott Hosking 65 minutes. A Transport Department spokeswoman acknowledged the substitute bus service took longer than the train trip it had replaced. She said the department was monitoring traffic conditions each day to manage traffic flows and make adjustments where needed. The Belair train line closed for six months on January 2 to allow works to separate the commuter and freight lines at Goodwood.
