ABCThe South Australian Government has scrapped its push to slash the number of bus routes across Adelaide after a significant public backlash, as well as backing down on plans to close Service SA centres. Key points: The State Government has backed down on a plan to cut more than 900 general-use bus stops Premier Steven Marshall said the decision was made after "a huge amount of feedback" He said the Government would pursue "other upgrades" to public transport Earlier this month it was announced that more than 900 general-use bus stops across the city would be cut, or used only as school bus stops, to make way for more regular and direct services.

Mr Marshall said the Government would pursue "other upgrades" to public transport.
