A purely ideological decision. The Keolis Downer contract was saving taxpayers $10 million a year and service quality was, I understand, at least as good. This was despite a quiet guerilla campaign by the RTBU to undermine KD's KPIs (e.g. drivers driving slowly or phoning in sick at the last minute).
I hope the SA government will explain to taxpayers the benefits of them paying more to run the trains. They're lucky that KD didn't take them to the legal cleaners for breach of contract, opting instead for a negotiated settlement.
