>>1783889>>1783889Going into the city isn't too bad desu. A frequent criticism of the public transport network is that it's all centralized towards the CBD, which can make it difficult to travel in east-west directions between suburbs. However this does mean it's very easy to get into the city centre, and the main shopping strip (Rundle Mall) plus most major offices are all within easy walking distance of the railway station.
Driving in isn't too bad either, especially compared to other Australian capital cities. Paid parking is cheap in comparison, and there's even some areas of free on-street parking, which is a rarity/non-existent in places like Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane.
The ring of parks (along with the many other parks scattered through suburbia and the huge amount of suburban trees) help make the city attractive, I think, otherwise it'd just be a vast sweeping plain of buildings.
That said if I had been in Colonel Light's boots in 1836, I wouldn't have founded Adelaide on the Torrens. He should have established it where the Port is, or maybe Glenelg. The inland position has harmed the city in the longterm.
