About the O-Bahn Bikeway trail

An intriguing insight into alternative public transport solutions, the trail along the O-Bahn lets you see how it works.

The O-Bahn is a German concept. It uses buses on a concrete-guide track instead of a conventional train and carriages. The trail follows the O-Bahn for the majority of its length and, while it is predominantly a sealed shared-use path, there are sections on quiet side roads. The trail makes use of the many O-Bahn overpasses and underpasses to provide pleasant riding. The few road crossings that you will encounter are generally quiet roads that are easy to cross. There are trails on both sides of the O-Bahn but we have described the trail that provides a more scenic and continuous journey.

The Adelaide CBD is surrounded by a 600 m wide strip of parklands which contains gardens, sporting facilities, recreation facilities, art and cultural facilities. A myriad of trails have been constructed throughout the parklands however the council has developed a 19.5 km shared-use path that forms a loop around the city. The trail overlaps the O-Bahn trail and is the starting point for five rail trails (Gawler, Outer Harbor, Westside, Mike Turtur and Marino Rocks rail trails).

The City to Levels Bikeway links with the O-Bahn Rail Trail at Fuller Street, Walkerville. The trail is located on minor, low traffic roads and links with the Dry Creek Trail and Stockade Rail Trail.
