Adelaide public transport introduction
1, brief introduction
Adelaide`s public transport is broadly divided into three types: Bus,Train and Tram.
Adelaide Metro Card is the equivalent of the domestic bus card, you can use the above three means of transport, in the general bookstore, supermarket or City Adelaide Metro Information Centre processing, the card is a cost, student card seems to be $3.
After buying the card, you must go to the official website http://www.adelaidemetro.com.au/ to register, suppose you lose the card, go to Adelaide Metro Information Centre and say that I have registered and then report the card number, you only need to pay the cost of the card. The balance in the original card will be transferred to the new card.
If you often go out, it`s a good deal to recommend 28 Day Pass, especially student cards. Go to Tram Station or Train and Tram cars to recharge, but they can only be recharged one time in advance. You can`t buy several 28-day ones in a row. Student cards are divided into Concession and Student, this should be noted, if you are Tertiary Students (any prep, Diploma, language school, Eynesbury College,UniSA,Uni Adelaide,Flinders and Tafe, and so on, that is, high school and below graduate students can only buy Concessioncard, Students card is for students below high school (including high school). I can only buy Adult. without a student card.
2, fare
The following chart shows the latest (2017 / 7 / 2) fares, which go up every year, so it is best to go to the official website to find out that there will be new prices after June 30 each year.
- Non-Peak Time is a weekday 9.01am to 3pm, and Sunday full day, the bus fare will be relatively cheap;
- Before Peak time is a weekday 9.01am, and after 3pm adds a Saturday full day, the bus fare will be relatively expensive.
The 28-day Pass refers to unlimited travel for 28 days, and if you want to advance the charge, you will wait until your current 28 days expire and continue to start the new 28 days. If you used to charge for 28 days, you can go to Adelaide Metro Information Centre, to reduce your balance by 28 days, or just make up the difference.
From your boarding to the last transfer time is within 2 hours, is free transfer, that is, only once money, can transfer to different modes of transport.
3. Bus chapte
Ade bus has a lot of routes, but the rules of boarding and disembarking are different from domestic ones.
Adelaide`s bus doesn`t stop at every stop. The bus here is in accordance with the timetable, occasionally late. Google Map or Metromate (official App) is recommended to check the schedule. Google Map and Metromate can`t find a specific bus route and every station, so you can use Moovit to find the site of each bus line, and of course all three of the above software can find Train and Tram..
When waiting for the bus at the station, when you see the bus you want to take, Hail your hand (beckons) the bus will stop, otherwise it will drive away.
The bus will not stop until you press the Stop button on the railing before you get off the bus. You can buy tickets on the bus, student tickets and adult tickets, student tickets need to show the student ID card (must be physical, not the school`s website on the Profile or the student ID photo), and then go to the machine to put the ticket in the plug. The tickets are directional and positive and negative.
If you pay by card, you can swipe it directly.
If you don`t have a student ID card you can check tickets on COE.Bus,Train and Tram from time to time, so you must bring your student ID card with you, or you will be fined more than 200 dollars.
Adelaidemetro Card can only be swiped once, not on the same car multiple times, that is, one person, one card, not on behalf of the brush. Some buses will have letters in front or behind, such as J1X, 721F, T721, which means there will be a LimitedStops or a different route, which is equivalent to an express train, so check the bus line in advance.
M 44 will not stop at Stop 10-4 in Anazc Highway morning and afternoon.
On the front sign of the bus there will be words such as LimitedStop,First Stop set down Stop 11, which means that there is no stopping at certain stations or between two non-contiguous stations. There are also Not in Service, Special,Drivers under Instructions and so on, these can not ride.
Some buses are called differently in different places, but a bus, such as 263, once passed the Stop 1 Anzac Hwy North West Side will become 251 or 252. When the two lines are merged, the. Google Map looks up and it says no transfer.
During the Adelaide Oval game, if you buy tickets to the race, you can take three modes of transport for free (only on the day of the race, the), Bus line will appear with a digital line behind the AO, check the line and schedule in advance with the Moovit. The bus can only be the front door, any door can get off the bus.
By the end of 2017, the Interchange on the O-Bahn line (only these three stops) would be able to get on either door, but the front door would be limited to swiping cards and buying tickets would only be available from the front door.
O-Bahn is Ade`s unique bus system, which was introduced from Germany. The bus will go to the track like train, and the speed will reach about 80kph, and the O-Bahn line will pass through the Interchange. of Klemzig,Paradise and Tea Tree Plaza. Very efficient! Unfortunately, there is only one line at present. The O-Bahn in the east is almost finished and can be put into use in the future.
There are M44, C1, G40 and so on through O-Bahn.
Weekend and weekday bus frequency is different, weekend bus is obviously very few, 30 minutes a flight, the evening will appear 1 hour, so go out must check the timetable before leaving.
Follow the official account of AdelaideMetro on Twitter, there will be changes to the line and the update of the shutdown of the line every day.
4. Tram chapte
Tram currently has only one line, from EntertainmentCentre to Glenelg..
Free Tram Zone is from South Terrace to Entertainment Centre,Brighton Road to Moseley Road.. It is free to get on the bus in these areas and there is no need to pay by card. But once in addition to this area, you have to pay by card.
Tram stops at almost every stop in City, and City is going to press Stop ahead of time.
By early 2018, the Tram line will be extended to the University of Adelaide, which will be more convenient for Adelaide students.
5. Train chapte
Train has a lot of lines, Train does not need to press Stop, every stop will stop. However, be sure to check the timetable, some Train is Limted Stop, or Express, not every stop, we recommend using Go Adelaide to check the specific schedule of each train line.
All Train will go to Adelaide Railway Station.. If you live near a stop in Train, it is still recommended to sit on Train, fast and just in time.
