A transport hub is a place where passengers and cargo are exchanged between vehicles and/or between transport modes . Public transport hubs include railway stations , rapid transit stations , bus stops , tram stops , airports , and ferry slips . Freight hubs include classification yards , airports, seaports , and truck terminals, or combinations of these. For private transport by car, the parking lot functions as an unimodal hub.
31-503: Tea Tree Plaza Interchange (previously known as Modbury Interchange ) is a bus interchange operated by Adelaide Metro in Modbury, South Australia as part of the O-Bahn Busway . It is a central public transport hub for the north eastern suburbs of Adelaide . Tea Tree Plaza Interchange was built as the terminating station of Stage 2 of the O-Bahn Busway from Paradise Interchange . It
62-475: A public utility , setting fares, routes, and schedules. Airlines that flew only intrastate routes, however, were not regulated by the CAB but were regulated by the governments of the states in which they operated. One way that the CAB promoted air travel was generally attempting to hold fares down in the short-haul market, which would be subsidized by higher fares in the long-haul market. The CAB also had to ensure that
93-525: A $ 14 million multiple level carpark was built on the north-west corner of the Tea Tree Gully campus of TAFE SA . The carpark provides 700 spaces, 300 more than was previously available. The entrance to the carpark utilises the access road from Smart Road that was previously only used by buses entering the busway. The development is expected to meet consumer demand at the interchange until 2021. The carpark opened on 13 January 2014. However, some have criticised
124-428: A huge taxpayer-funded bailout and the creation of the government-owned corporations Conrail and Amtrak . Leading economists had argued for several decades that the regulation led to inefficiency and higher costs. The Carter administration argued that the industry and its customers would benefit from new entrants, the abolishing of price regulation, and reduced control over routes and hub cities. In 1970 and 1971,
155-490: A major transport hub, often multimodal (bus and rail), may be referred to as a transport centre or, in American English , as a transit center . Sections of city streets that are devoted to functioning as transit hubs are referred to as transit malls . In cities with a central station , that station often also functions as a transport hub in addition to being a railway station. Journey planning involving transport hubs
186-472: A number of carriers. Between 1978 and mid-2001, eight major carriers (including Eastern , Midway , Braniff , Pan Am , Continental , Northwest Airlines , and TWA ) and more than 100 smaller airlines went bankrupt or were liquidated, including most of the dozens of new airlines founded in deregulation's aftermath. For the most part, smaller markets did not suffer the erosion of service that had been predicted by some opponents of deregulation. However, until
217-483: Is more complicated than direct trips, as journeys will typically require a transfer at the hub. Modern electronic journey planners for public transport have a digital representation of both the stops and transport hubs in a network, to allow them to calculate journeys that include transfers at hubs. Airports have a twofold hub function. First, they concentrate passenger traffic into one place for onward transportation. This makes it important for airports to be connected to
248-842: The Council of Economic Advisers in the Nixon administration , along with the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice and other agencies, proposed legislation to diminish price collusion and entry barriers in rail and trucking transportation. While the initiative was in process in the Ford administration , the Senate Judiciary Committee , which had jurisdiction over antitrust law , began hearings on airline deregulation in 1975. Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy took
279-489: The Montreal Convention with regard to international flights) also has the effect of preempting state law with regard to claims against airlines for delays, discrimination, consumer protection violations and other allegations of passenger mistreatment. A 1996 Government Accountability Office report found that the average fare per passenger mile was about nine percent lower in 1994 than in 1979. Between 1976 and 1990
310-735: The hub and spoke system for aviation in 1955 from its hub in Atlanta, Georgia , United States , in an effort to compete with Eastern Air Lines . FedEx adopted the hub and spoke model for overnight package delivery during the 1970s. When the United States airline industry was deregulated in 1978, Delta's hub and spoke paradigm was adopted by several airlines. Many airlines around the world operate hub-and-spoke systems facilitating passenger connections between their respective flights. Intermodal passenger transport hubs in public transport include bus stations, railway stations and metro stations , while
341-658: The Ardtornish Primary School. The terminal is serviced by Schoolbus M and Schoolbus X in the mornings and Schoolbus E and Schoolbus P in the afternoons. The interchange is approximately 10 minutes from the Golden Grove Interchange, approximately 20 minutes from the Greenwith Community Centre and approximately 10–15 minutes away from the Currie Street bus stop. Other stations that service

#1732855543070372-493: The O-Bahn include Paradise Interchange and Klemzig Interchange . Transport interchange Historically, an interchange service in the scheduled passenger air transport industry involved a "through plane" flight operated by two or more airlines where a single aircraft was used with the individual airlines operating it with their own flight crews on their respective portions of a direct, no-change-of-plane multi-stop flight. In
403-569: The U.S., a number of air carriers including Alaska Airlines , American Airlines , Braniff International Airways , Continental Airlines , Delta Air Lines , Eastern Airlines , Frontier Airlines (1950-1986) , Hughes Airwest , National Airlines (1934-1980) , Pan Am , Trans World Airlines ( TWA ), United Airlines and Western Airlines previously operated such cooperative "through plane" interchange flights on both domestic and/or international services with these schedules appearing in their respective system timetables. Delta Air Lines pioneered
434-596: The United States air transport system, and contributed to the development of a wider range of aircraft types that are better adaptable to markets of varying sizes. In 2011, Supreme Court Justice member Stephen Breyer , who was a special counsel to the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary in the 1970s and worked with Senator Kennedy on the bill, wrote: What does the industry's history tell us? Was this effort worthwhile? Certainly it shows that every major reform brings about new, sometimes unforeseen, problems. No one foresaw
465-542: The advent of low-cost carriers , point-to-point air transport declined in favor of a more pronounced hub-and-spoke system . A traveler starting from a non-hub airport (a spoke) would fly into the hub, then reach the final destination by flying from the hub to another airport, the spoke. While more efficient for serving smaller markets, this system has enabled some airlines to drive out competition from their "fortress hubs." The growth of low-cost carriers such as Southwest Airlines has brought more point-to-point service back into
496-411: The airline does not fly directly between. Airlines have extended the hub-and-spoke model in various ways. One method is to create additional hubs on a regional basis, and to create major routes between the hubs. This reduces the need to travel long distances between nodes that are close together. Another method is to use focus cities to implement point-to-point service for high traffic routes, bypassing
527-583: The airline industry in the United States, removing federal control over such areas as fares, routes, and market entry of new airlines. The act gradually phased out and disbanded the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB), but the regulatory powers of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) over all aspects of aviation safety were not diminished. Since 1938, the federal CAB had regulated all domestic interstate air transport routes as
558-406: The airlines had a reasonable rate of return . The CAB had earned a reputation for bureaucratic complacency; airlines were subject to lengthy delays when they applied for new routes or fare changes, and were often not approved. For example, World Airways applied to begin a low-fare New York City–to–Los Angeles route in 1967; the CAB studied the request for over six years, only to dismiss it because
589-530: The end of all domestic fare regulation by January 1, 1983. In practice, changes came rather more rapidly than that. Among its many terms, the act did the following: Safety inspections and air traffic control remained in the hands of the FAA, and the act also required the Secretary of Transportation to report to Congress about air safety and any implications that deregulation would have in that matter. The ADA (along with
620-446: The hub entirely. There are usually three kinds of freight hubs: sea-road, sea-rail, and road-rail, though they can also be sea-road-rail. With the growth of containerization , intermodal freight transport has become more efficient, often making multiple legs cheaper than through services—increasing the use of hubs. Airline Deregulation Act The Airline Deregulation Act is a 1978 United States federal law that deregulated
651-435: The industry's spectacular growth, with the number of air passengers increasing from 207.5 million in 1974 to 721.1 million last year. As a result, no one foresaw the extent to which new bottlenecks would develop: a flight-choked Northeast corridor, overcrowded airports, delays, and terrorist risks consequently making air travel increasingly difficult. Nor did anyone foresee the extent to which change might unfairly harm workers in
SECTION 20
#1732855543070682-465: The industry. Still, fares have come down. Airline revenue per passenger mile has declined from an inflation-adjusted 33.3 cents in 1974, to 13 cents in the first half of 2010. In 1974 the cheapest round-trip New York-Los Angeles flight (in inflation-adjusted dollars) that regulators would allow: $ 1,442. Today one can fly that same route for $ 268. That is why the number of travelers has gone way up. So we sit in crowded planes, munch potato chips, flare up when
713-530: The last chairman of the CAB and would oversee its final closure on January 1, 1985. Senator Howard Cannon of Nevada introduced S. 2493 on February 6, 1978. The bill was passed and was signed by Carter on October 24, 1978. The stated goals of the Act included the following: The Act intended for various restrictions on airline operations to be removed over four years, with complete elimination of restrictions on domestic routes and new services by December 31, 1981, and
744-605: The lead in the hearings. The committee was deemed a friendlier forum than what likely would have been the more appropriate venue, the Aviation Subcommittee of the Commerce Committee . The Ford administration supported the Judiciary Committee initiative. In 1977, President Jimmy Carter appointed Alfred E. Kahn , a professor of economics at Cornell University , to be chair of the CAB. A concerted push for
775-528: The legislation had developed from leading economists, leading think-tanks in Washington, a civil society coalition advocating the reform (patterned on a coalition earlier developed for the truck-and-rail-reform efforts), the head of the regulatory agency, Senate leadership, the Carter administration, and even some in the airline industry. The coalition swiftly gained legislative results in 1978. Dan McKinnon would be
806-460: The move to charge non- MetroCARD holders $ 10, whereas those whose who have a metrocard are only charged $ 2. The Westfield Tea Tree Plaza shopping centre and two others are very close by with parking available in those car parks, making it a popular interchange for city-goers and shoppers of the area. The interchange is also a popular hangout for students from the nearby Modbury South Primary School, The Heights School and Modbury High School , and
837-559: The paid fare had declined approximately thirty percent in inflation -adjusted terms. Passenger loads have risen, partly because airlines can now transfer larger aircraft to longer, busier routes and replace them with smaller ones on shorter, lower-traffic routes. However, these trends have not been distributed evenly throughout the national air transportation network. Costs have fallen more dramatically on higher-traffic, longer-distance routes than on shorter ones. Exposure to competition led to heavy losses and conflicts with labor unions for
868-481: The record was "stale". Continental Airlines began service between Denver and San Diego after eight years only because a United States Court of Appeals ordered the CAB to approve the application. This rigid system encountered tremendous pressure in the 1970s. The 1973 oil crisis and stagflation radically changed the economic environment, as did technological advances such as the jumbo jet . Most major airlines, whose profits were virtually guaranteed, favored
899-432: The rigid system, but passengers who were forced to pay escalating fares were against it and were joined by communities that subsidized air service at ever-higher rates. The United States Congress became concerned that air transport, in the long run, might follow the nation's railroads into trouble. The Penn Central Railroad had collapsed in 1970, which was at that time the largest bankruptcy in history; this resulted in
930-410: The surrounding transport infrastructure, including roads, bus services, and railway and rapid transit systems. Secondly some airports function as intra-modular hubs for the airlines, or airline hubs . This is a common strategy among network airlines who fly only from limited number of airports and usually will make their customers change planes at one of their hubs if they want to get between two cities
961-400: Was opened on 20 August 1989 by Premier John Bannon . Originally named Modbury Interchange, it was renamed Tea Tree Plaza Interchange on 12 September 1997. On 24 February 2013, Premier Jay Weatherill announced a $ 17 million upgrade of facilities along the O-Bahn Busway , which included increased bicycle storage, real-time information screens and additional seating. As part of the upgrade,
