Summary

In 1974 the Municipal Tramways Trust (1907 - 1975), South Australian Railways Commissioner (1856 - 1974) and the Transport Control Board were dissolved, and their functions brought together forming the State Transport Authority Board (1974 -1994). In 1994 the State Transport Authority board was replaced by TransAdelaide (1994 - 2011). It is unclear how heavily the State Transport Authority Board was involved in the mechanical operation and management of South Australia's trams, trains and buses or if it functioned as a more administrative entity.

"... the rengitj, as a visible mark or imprint on the land, is characterised as a place of origin, the repository of all names, as well as a kind of mapped visual expression of the connection between people and places which is to be carried out in the temporal sequence of the journey."
