Cricket fans heading to the city for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup will be able to get there for free on public transport.
Adelaide Oval will host six Super 12s matches plus a semi-final between Wednesday 2 November and Thursday 10 November, with all matches serviced by free regular Adelaide Metro and Adelaide Oval Express services.
To ensure an easy and convenient ride home for the 40,000 spectators expected to attend each of these games, Adelaide Oval Express bus services will operate post-match for up to 45 minutes after the last ball while additional tram and train services will run up to 1.5 hours post-match.

“This will also include the first-ever World Cup semi-final at Adelaide Oval – another huge coup for South Australia with this event expected to draw a crowd of more than 40,000.
“Public transport will be free for all of these matches, so that everyone has access to a free, safe and convenient ride.”
