        <text id="2012112872ebec2fb5d5474280000406">There are 39 scheduled substitute bus services operating each week day replacing Tonsley rail services. These substitute bus services have been operating since February 27, 2012 and are provided by accessible Adelaide Metro buses.</text>
        <text id="2012112872ebec2fb5d5474280000407">No buses have been retrofitted for disability access. The rate of the bus replacement program means that Adelaide Metro is well ahead of schedule for a fully accessible fleet by 2022 as required by the Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act 1992.</text>
