GETTING AROUND

With traffic congestion, pollution, and petrol prices all getting worse, now is the time to use Adelaide's affordable, efficient public transportation to get to University.

North Terrace campus is located within walking distance of many student accommodations, but to get further afield Adelaide Metro public transportation can be used.

To ride public transport you need a single trip Metroticket or a metroCARD, which stores credit for multiple journeys. Link it to your bank account and select “auto recharge” so you don't forget. Full-time students are eligible for concession prices but you must carry your student ID card at all times, or you may get a fine!

Tragically, public transport services end after midnight. Taxi ranks are located on Pulteney Street opposite Hungry Jacks, on King William Street opposite Rundle Mall, and on the corner of Morphett Street and Hindley Street.

Use Google Maps to plot your journey (we used to have an app…thanks a lot, Stephan Knoll) and go forth!

It’s free to ride on North Terrace, but the furthest it can travel is Moseley Square in Glenelg

Adelaide Railway Station (the nucleus of all railway lines) has regular departures and a store where you can recharge or purchase a MetroCARD

BUS!

Can be like playing Russian Roulette, only instead of a bullet, it's being late for work

TRAM! TRAIN! BICYCLE!

Cyclists may be the most put-upon commuters in Adelaide. Luckily, bikes are allowed free on trains from 9:00am–3:00pm (and the Belair Railway Line has recently introduced bikefriendly carriages specially for additional bike storage!)
