• 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.

The charm of Adelaide isn't just confined to its city centre – there's much more waiting to be discovered on foot beyond central Adelaide. The surrounding suburbs are home to beautiful parks such as Botanic Park and Belair National Park where trails wind through stunning natural landscapes. You can even venture out further into nearby wine regions like Barossa Valley or McLaren Vale where numerous walking trails offer breathtaking views over vineyards and rolling hills.

They often hold events such as sunset cruises, wine tasting tours or wildlife spotting expeditions.

What fare/ticket is right for me

Adelaide Metro has a range of tickets and fares, the below information can help you decide which one is right for you:

A metroCARD is a rechargeable plastic card that you can use to travel on buses, trains and trams. We offer three different types of metroCARDs:

• Regular: For all users of public transport.
• Concession: For those travelling with proof of eligibility including full time tertiary and university students, and other government issued concession cardholders.
• Student: For primary and secondary students.

Day passes:

• 14/28 day pass: This pass gives you unlimited travel on buses, trains and trams for 14 or 28 days. These can be loaded to all types of metroCARDs. These may be more economical if you use public transport several times per week.
• Daytrip pass: This pass gives you unlimited travel on all buses, trains and trams for a full day. You can load this pass to a metroCARD or you can purchase it through the Adelaide Metro Buy & Go app. This pass may be more economical if you will be using public transport multiple times in one day.
• 3-day Visitor pass: This pass gives you unlimited travel on all buses, trains and trams for 3 days. You can load this pass to a metroCARD or you can purchase it through the Adelaide Metro Buy & Go app. This pass may be more economical if you will be using public transport multiple times over 3 consecutive days.

Tap and Pay:

Adelaide Metro Tap and Pay allows you to pay with your Visa or Mastercard (credit/debit card or enabled smart phone or device) on buses, trams and only for trains departing from the Adelaide Railway Station. Tap your Visa or Mastercard to validate your fare. This may be a good option if you do not have concessions or a metroCARD, and do not use public transport regularly.

Buy & Go app:

The Buy & Go app allows you to purchase tickets at any time. Buy & Go fares are the same as metroCARD fares. You can buy Regular, Concession and Student Singletrip, Dytrips and 3-day Visitor passes to be used on buses, trams and only for trains departing from the Adelaide Railway Station. The Buy & Go app is a good option if you are not a regular public transport user and don’t have a metroCARD.

How long does a single fare last for?

Your fare lasts for two hours from when you validate your ticket or metroCARD, unless you have unlimited daily travel on a:

• Daytrip ticket (expires 4am the day after purchase)
• Cruise ship pass
• Visitor pass (three days)
• 14-day or 28-day multi-day pass on metroCARD.

What are 14-day and 28-day passes for metroCARDs?

These passes are loaded to a metroCARD and give you unlimited bus, train and tram travel for either 14 or 28 days in a row. This means they are good for people who use public transport most days of the week, as they work out cheaper than normal metroCARD fares.

You can add a pass to a metroCARD

• through  your online metroCARD account (if you’ve registered the card with us)
• at the InfoCentre in the Adelaide Railway Station
• at metroCARD retailers or vending machines across Adelaide
• using a vending machine on-board trains and trams
• by calling the InfoLine on 1300 311 108.

When you add a pass to a metroCARD, it will start its countdown of days the next time the card is validated. You can’t pause a 14-day or 28-day pass – it will expire after its allocated time, no matter how many times or what days of the week you validate it.

Where can I buy an Adelaide Metro metroCARD or ticket?

You can buy:

• metroCARDs from vending machines and  retailers across Adelaide
• ready-to-use  metroCARDs online , and we will post it to you
• paper MetroTickets from vending machines on-board trains and trams and Adelaide Railway Station.

You can also purchase Singletrips, Daytrips and 3-Day Visitor passes on the free Adelaide Metro Buy & Go app .

Can you pay cash on Adelaide Metro buses?

No. Adelaide Metro buses are cashless and you cannot purchase tickets on board.

To pay for your fare with cash, you can buy a metroCARD in person, then either recharge it for access to best-value fares or load it with a Singletrip ticket.

Alternatively, you can buy tickets on the Adelaide Metro Buy & Go app or  Tap and Pay with your Visa or Mastercard (or smart device).

What if I've lost my metroCARD or ticket?

We can only track, cancel or replace  registered  metroCARDs.

Contact us to cancel your registered metroCARD as soon as you notice it is missing. If you have auto recharge setup on a metroCARD, cancel that, too. Either:

• call our InfoLine on  1300 311 108
• visit us at the InfoCentre Adelaide Railway Centre.

If your registered metroCARD is lost, stolen or damaged, we can transfer any remaining balance to a different metroCARD you own, or you can buy a new metroCARD and we will transfer it to that. When you buy a new card, you may also need to pay a bit extra to top up your balance to the nearest $5.

Paper MetroTickets cannot be registered or replaced if they are lost or stolen.
