Kick off your travels around the city this Friday for free! In a gesture of goodwill and to rectify a recent glitch, travel on all Adelaide Metro buses, trains, and trams will be entirely complimentary on Friday October 13th, 2023. This means if you’re planning to take public transport, there’s no need to tap on or buy a ticket – just hop on board and enjoy the journey.
Recently, Adelaide Metro faced a technical hiccup which led to some passengers being charged peak fares during what were supposed to be off-peak hours. Adelaide Metro responded quickly, issuing a statement apologising for any inconvenience caused by the oversight. Fortunately, this issue has been addressed and rectified. Moreover, to ensure that such incidents do not recur, a software update has been developed and implemented.
Should you suspect that you were among those impacted by the incorrect fare charges, Adelaide Metro encourages you to get in touch. Reach out to the Adelaide Metro InfoLine at 1300 311 108, available from 7am to 8pm daily, to discuss potential reimbursement options.
In addition to the free transport, there’s another piece of good news for those planning to use the Tea Tree Plaza Park ‘n’ Ride facility: car parking will be available for $2 throughout Friday.
But why should one head into the city this particular Friday, you ask? Apart from the lure of free transportation, Adelaide has an eclectic mix of events lined up, which promise to cater to a wide range of tastes and interests.
