Public transport fares are changing this October

11 Sep 2026

From Thursday 1 October 2026, new fares will apply for all Adelaide Metro bus, train and tram services. 

Fares will increase by approximately 3.3% per cent, in line with the consumer price index (CPI).

Earlier this year, the Government put a pause on annual increases to provide cost of living relief for South Australian commuters, due to uncertainty in the international fuel market.

Fares from 1 October 2026
