Howzat! Free public transport for a packed summer of cricket at Adelaide Oval

Tuesday, 6 December 2022

Cricket fans can make a great catch this summer – by catching public transport for free to all international and Big Bash League matches at Adelaide Oval.

Hit paid parking for six with free travel on all Adelaide Metro services, available for each day of the Adelaide Test by presenting your match ticket to Adelaide Metro staff, from 10:30am Thursday, Friday and Monday and all day on Saturday and Sunday.

It all starts this Thursday, as Adelaide Oval hosts the second day-night test match between Australia and West Indies (8-12 December).

Adelaide Oval Express bus services and additional train and tram services will also operate post-match on days 1-3 of the test, up to 45 minutes after the last ball each night. On days 4 and 5, patrons will be able to access regular Adelaide Metro bus, train and tram services for free with their match day ticket.

Also set for a big appeal: free travel on all regular Adelaide Metro buses, trains and trams will also be available for fans travelling to and from all Adelaide Strikers BBL games at Adelaide Oval:
