By Mark Sariban

Transport in Adelaide
Adelaide, South Australia © South Australian Tourism Commission
- Airport Transfers
- Accessibility
Adelaide has an extensive public transport system of buses, trains and trams. To use the network, it’s recommended that you purchase a MetroCard. You can purchase a regular metroCARD at Adelaide Airport or from participating retailers in the city. Use the Adelaide Metro’s My next service tool to find your nearest stop and real-time service information.
- You can also purchase a metroCARD Visitor Pass , which gives you three days of unlimited travel on the Adelaide Metro network for one fixed fee. These cards can be purchased from the Adelaide Metro InfoCentre at the Adelaide Railway Station .
- If you choose a regular metroCARD, you’ll need to load it with some money to cover your fares. You can do this participating retailers , at metroCARD retail agents or by using ticket machines at train stations.
- You can use a contactless credit card, debit card or mobile device to tap and pay on trams and O-Bahn busway buses. Note that the tap and pay option does not provide the benefit of discounted transfers to other services.
- To start your ride, tap your card on the reader when you board your selected mode of transport and be sure to tap off when you disembark.
Tip: If you arrive on a cruise ship, you can purchase an inexpensive one-day Cruise ship metroCARD at the Outer Harbor railway station or the Adelaide Metro InfoCentre.
Adelaide is serviced by Adelaide Airport (ADL) near the city centre. There are several options for reaching the city from the airport.
- Public buses are an easy way to get from Adelaide Airport to the city. J1 and J2 buses run from the airport to the city approximately every 30 minutes. You can use a metroCARD to pay for this airport service.
- You’ll find taxi ranks and rideshare pick-up areas at the front of each terminal – simply follow the signage. The journey from the airport to the city takes around 15 minutes.
In Australia, airlines, trains, buses and ferries have accessible options for people using mobility devices, as well as services for hearing and vision impaired travellers. Many hotels and attractions in South Australia , including surrounding areas such as Adelaide Hills , are also accessible.
- Adelaide Airport provides special assistance for people with disabilities and can help with baggage, getting around the airport, and getting on and off the plane.
- The majority of buses, trams and trains have accessible options – check the Adelaide Metro website for information on using public transport before your trip.

Driving in Adelaide is easy and safe, but you may find it’s easier to use a combination of taxis, rideshares and public transport to get around town. You can also book tours to many of the stunning destinations outside of Adelaide and leave the driving to someone else.
If you do opt to rent a car at the airport or in the city, you may want to check whether your hotel charges a daily parking fee.
- The City of Adelaide operates nine UPark off-street car parks with approximately 6,000 car parking spaces.

Glenelg Tram
Adelaide, South Australia
Linking Adelaide city center to the historic beachfront suburb of Glenelg, the Glenelg Tram is a relic of a public transport network that once spanned the entire city. Attractive red heritage trams are available for charter and occasionally during special events, but almost all trams that run the scenic route are modern.
Adelaide metro tram services run three color-coded routes: Adelaide Entertainment Centre to Adelaide Botanic Gardens (yellow), Festival Plaza to Glenelg (blue), and Royal Adelaide Hospital to Glenelg (red). Services are free within Adelaide city center as far as South Terrace and again between Brighton Road and Glenelg. Between those points, use an Adelaide Metro ticket, rechargeable Metrocard, or the 3-day unlimited travel Visitor Pass. Buying tickets from the onboard vending machine requires exact change, so it’s generally easier to purchase them in advance.
A must for transport geeks, the Glenelg Tram is a great way for anyone to get around the city and Glenelg.
Younger children will love the tram ride to Glenelg as much as they enjoy the sandy beach. Under-5s ride free.
All Adelaide tram stops apart from City South are wheelchair-accessible. Wait for assistance on the boarding patch with the white-on-blue access symbol, then board either directly or via the access ramp.
Pick up the Glenelg Tram at stops throughout the city center and beyond, including Adelaide Railway Station and Rundle Mall, as well as along Jetty Road in Glenelg. The red and blue lines run all the way through to Glenelg. The yellow line runs between Botanic Gardens and Entertainment Centre only: Change at Royal Adelaide Hospital.
The main Glenelg tram lines operate from early morning until around midnight seven days a week. Over the Australian summer (roughly December through February), particularly during the summer school vacation, they can get very busy, especially on weekends. Travel during the week for a more tranquil experience, avoiding the morning and afternoon peaks (7am–9am and 4pm–7pm).
Today a seaside suburb of Adelaide known for its golden sands, Glenelg was the first settlement in all of South Australia. Founded in 1836, it functioned as Adelaide’s main port until Port Adelaide was built. By the late 19th century it was established as a tourist resort, with the first amusement park opening in 1930.

Top 10 things about Adelaide trams
Adelaide’s tram service is as much a south australian icon as farmer’s union iced coffee or haigh’s chocolate ..
Electric trams have operated in the Adelaide for more than a century now and catching the tram to Glenelg regularly features in online lists of top things to do in Adelaide – just Google it !
So, what is it that’s so great about Adelaide’s tram service?
1. It’s free!
Yes, you have to pay to travel between South Terrace and Brighton Road but within the CBD and all the way out to the Entertainment Centre, travel by tram is completely free – all day, every day! It’s also free along the famous Jetty Road strip at Glenelg. Hop on and hop off all over the place!
2. Go straight to major attractions
Whether you’re heading to the Entertainment Centre , South Australian Museum , Art Gallery , Botanic Gardens , Rundle Mall , Central Market , Convention Centre , Adelaide Oval or Glenelg , the tram can get you there – and many other places in between or nearby. It will even take you to the Royal Adelaide Hospital or to the gates of Morphettville Racecourse on race days. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, the tram is a great option to get you places!
3. No need for timetables
Yes, trams do run to a timetable, but with a tram arriving every 10 minutes for much of the day – and every 5 minutes during peak hour – all you need to do is head to your nearest tram stop and get on the first one headed in the right direction. If you need it, you can get timetable information on the Adelaide Metro website or use an app .
4. Paying the fare is easy
If you travel outside of the free zone and you’re a regular customer, then you’ll most likely validate your metroCARD which can be recharged online or at the on-board ticket vending machine. If you don’t have a metroCARD, you can tap-and-pay at one of the specially-marked validators with your credit card or smart device, or purchase a range of tickets at the on-board ticket vending machine (using cash, credit card or EFTPOS). Easy.
5. It’s less hassle and cheaper than parking
With parking in the city costing around $20 for 4 hours, it’s much cheaper and easier to just jump on a tram! Or, use the Park’n’Ride facility at the Entertainment Centre for just $5 (between 5.00am and 6.30pm if you enter before 5.00pm) and jump on the free tram into the city! Simple.
6. Transfer to other services
All metroCARD and MetroTicket fares are valid for 2 hours and can be used to travel on other Adelaide Metro trams, trains and buses. At the moment, tap-and-pay fares can only be used to transfer to other tram services. As trams travel along major thoroughfares like North Terrace and King William Street, and stop directly outside the Adelaide Railway Station, jumping onto another service is easy! Use the Adelaide Metro Journey Planner to help get you where you need to go.
7. Reduced (or free) fares
Children under 5 travel for free (at all times) with an accompanying parent or carer. School students aged 5 and above pay discounted fares (those aged 15 or above must carry their student ID when travelling). On weekends, South Australian school holidays and public holidays, two children under the age of 15 can travel free when they are with an adult who is using an adult Daytrip MetroTicket.
Concession fares are available for full-time post-secondary students, transport concession card holders and others.
Seniors Card holders can currently travel for free at all times except weekdays 7.00–9.00 am and 3.00–7.00 pm, during which times concession fares apply (and your Seniors Card is also a rechargable metroCARD!). From 1 July 2022, this will be extended to allow seniors to travel for free at any time – more information will be available soon.
Visiting Seniors Card holders from interstate can get a free 14 day pass which entitles them to travel subject to the same conditions as SA Seniors. Passes can be obtained from various visitor and information centres or can be ordered online .
And free travel is often available for ticket holders at special events like AFL matches.
8. Every tram is accessible
Both Citadis and Flexity trams are equipped with ramps that operators will deploy upon request for those with mobility scooters, wheelchairs, or other mobility aids. There are priority seats and designated spaces on board, along with loudspeaker announcements for every stop. For more information about access and disability see the Adelaide Metro website.
9. Friendly employees are there to help you
Customer Service Officers are always out and about on the network to help customers with ticket purchases, route queries, and more. Tram operators can help you when they’re not driving, and there are points near tram doors that allow you communicate with the driver in an emergency. And if you have any feedback about the service or you need to enquire about lost property, then contact the Adelaide Metro Infoline on 1300 311 108.
10. It just feels special
Trams make memories. No matter whether you remember riding the H-class to Glenelg for ice cream, or if you’ve jumped on the Citadis and Flexity trams to get you to uni, the tram is a little bit different to Adelaide’s other modes of public transport – something of a novelty that we remember with joy.
It could be the fact that with only 3 routes, the tram is what you catch to get to those ‘special places’ in Adelaide.
Perhaps it’s the sense of history that surrounds the service.
Or it could be the fact that it’s been an environmentally-friendly transport option for more than 100 years, long before the current focus on emissions and the move to electric vehicles.
Whatever the reason, the tram holds a special place in the hearts of South Australians. So whether you’re a local or a visitor, you can rely on the tram service to get you there easily and safely – and leave you with some great memories!
