The O-Bahn is a guided busway that services Adelaide's north-eastern suburbs. The busway extends 12 km from the outskirts of the City to Tea Tree Gully. The buses are fitted with guide wheels that run against the side of the track, but when off the busway the buses operate on city and suburban streets as would a standard bus.The O-Bahn system was designed by Daimler-Benz for use in the city of Essen in Germany. The Adelaide O-Bahn busway, completed in 1989, was the first large scale adoption of the system in the world.
