Free City Trams and City Connector Buses

Festival-goers took full advantage of the free tram zones and City Connector buses, which provided a hop-on and hop-off service to popular city attractions, shopping, dining, and key destinations.

If you’re coming to Picnic in the Park, the City South tram stop on King William Road is 500m from the Southeast entrance, straight down Sturt Street.

City Buses

Bus routes 99A and 99C connected the inner city and were available Monday to Friday; 98A and 98C connected North Adelaide with the city, running every day. Services operated every 15 minutes on weekdays and every 30 minutes on weekends.

If you’re coming to Picnic in the Park, stops R1 and L1 sit on either side of Whitmore Square. Stops C1 and X1 are on Sturt St on the West side of the square.

City Trams

The free zone covered the area between South Terrace, Adelaide Entertainment Centre, Festival Plaza, and the Botanic Gardens stops. If travelers headed beyond South Terrace towards Glenelg, a fare was required.

After Midnight Buses (Saturday)

Festival-goers can make use of the After Midnight Buses on Saturday nights (for the cost of a fare). These buses run from midnight to 6:00 am on Sunday mornings, with routes travelling east and hills, west, north, and south. In addition to regular bus stops, drivers are able to drop passengers off at well-lit locations like service stations or fast-food outlets. The Adelaide Metro journey planner helps guests find their routes by selecting a time between midnight Saturday and 6:00 am Sunday to display after midnight bus times.

For assistance with public transport, journey planning, or fare options, guests could visit Adelaide Metro or the Adelaide Metro InfoCentre located at the Adelaide Railway Station on North Terrace. They were also able to call 1300 311 108.

Adelaide Metro will be on-site at Picnic in the Park, providing further support for attendees.
