At TRANSIT they hope and expect that the vigilance and attention to cleanliness and hygiene lasts long beyond the H1N1 hype and the busy month.
As always, TRANSIT reminds public transport users to exercise awareness about cleanliness and hygiene while using public transport. Although it may be hard to avoid physical contact with people due to crowding, users can prevent contamination of surfaces and transmission of germs, viruses and bacteria by doing all of the following:
– Use tissues, handkerchiefs or gloves when touching surfaces;
– Use tissues to sneeze or cough and dispose of these tissues as quickly as possible;
– Use the Touch ‘N’ Go card to reduce the need to touch surfaces — at the ticket vending machines, ticket counter, etc. — and avoid touching paper money or coins;
– Carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer and use it regularly (e.g. after touching surfaces) or whenever necessary.

Specializing in one-off. It is nearly-impossible to find vintage designer pieces by the likes of Karl Lagerfeld, Sonia Rykiel, Moschino and Issey Miyake, Comme des Garcons and Chanel, even the likes of Miss Lily “Alright, Still” – and Allen have been known to flex the credit on this site.
C. The go-to store for exclusive designer labels – both national and international. Boasting Aussie style favorites like Josh Goot and Camilla, and revered European design houses Lanvin, Celine, Balenciaga, Givenchy, Alexander McQueen, Saint Laurent, Peter Pilotto and Proenza Schouler among others. If you have the cash to splash – this is the place to go. You can also shop online if there’s no time to drop into the King William Street to dig for your retail therapy.

Labels Tallulah, Maurie & Eve, Rachel Gilbert, Manning Cartell, Aje and Bec & Bridge are just a few ofthe many on offer here.
E. A favourite of women all across the city due to its four locations in Burnside, Norwood, North Adelaide and Glenelg, Impulse has been operating for 30 years and for good reason.
