Adelaide
Getting home.
Adelaide is compact, but the trains and trams stop early. Here’s what runs late.
After Midnight buses
Saturday nights only: buses run from midnight to 6am Sunday on routes east, west, north and south, all through the city. Drivers can drop you at a well-lit spot on the route, such as a service station, if you ask.
Trams and city buses
The city tram is free within the CBD. Free city-connector buses finish mid-evening, 9:15pm on Fridays. Check the Adelaide Metro journey planner for the last tram to Glenelg.
Plan it
Use the Adelaide Metro journey planner before you go out; late services differ by night.
