Free public transport for New Year’s Eve

Monday, 30 December 2024

South Australians are being urged to plan ahead this New Year’s Eve and utilise free public transport services which will be running all night to get those celebrating to and from home safely.

The South Australian government’s free public transport will begin from 5pm on Tuesday, 31 December, and will run until 6am on New Year’s Day 2025 – with extra services running throughout the night.

Cricket fans travelling to Adelaide Oval for the Big Bash League match on Tuesday can access free travel beginning at 3pm by producing a match day ticket.

A crowd of 50,000 is expected for the popular annual event.

The initiative is part of a partnership between Adelaide Metro and THINK! Road Safety.

Regular fares for Adelaide Metro Services will resume from 6am on New Year’s Day.

Commuters can check their timetable in real time and plan their trip in advance with the Adelaide Metro Journey Planner.
