It is not under any sort of threat, if that's what you mean. It is an
important part of Adelaide's transport network, and will continue to be
well used, but they're not treating it as a flagship service. So far the
buses used are high floor (even though low floor buses are common on
many Adelaide routes) and there are no real-time information displays. I
expect the O-bahn will get them eventually, but AFAIK they haven't been
announced yet.
It is unlikely that the track will be extended further out, because the
roads in the outer suburbs are generally uncongested. Extending the
track into the City is also unlikely because of the cost.
