Metropolitan train, tram and bus services are contracted out by the State Government under the unified brand name Adelaide Metro and use a unified ticketing system, "Metroticket". The Adelaide Metro website or the Passenger Transport InfoCentre (corner of King William & Currie Streets, Adelaide CBD) is the place to visit for timetable and route information. You have a choice of tickets:
Single trip tickets ($4.40 for adults ($2.20 in off-peak)) allow the passenger to move freely around the transport network for 2 hr. "Multi-trip" tickets containing 10 of these are also available.
Alternatively, a $8.30 daytrip ticket is available, allowing unlimited travel within the Adelaide Metro area for an entire day. For tourists, this is worth purchasing if you are travelling for more than 2 hr in one day.
Tickets and route information can be purchased from ticket machines on board trains (coins only), or from conductors on the tram or bus drivers. A small number of stations (Adelaide, Elizabeth, Gawler, Noarlunga Centre, Oaklands, Mawson Lakes, and Salisbury), and a number of newsagents, delis and post offices also sell Metrotickets.
Accurate transit information can also be obtained through Google Maps.
