From today, South Australian Seniors Card members can travel for free on Adelaide Metro buses, trains and trams – all day, every day.
You don’t need to do anything to access the free travel; simply continue to validate your Seniors Card each time you board a service or pass through barrier gates.
Any unused credit on Seniors Cards can be refunded or transferred to a different metroCARD.
To request a refund, please visit the Adelaide Metro InfoCentre at the Adelaide Railway Station.
If you are unable to travel into the city, please call the Adelaide Metro InfoLine on 1300 311 108 for assistance (7am-8pm, daily).
There is no time limit on when you can receive your Seniors Card refund. Please travel to the Adelaide Metro InfoCentre for your refund, at a time that is convenient for you.
If you would like your credit transferred to a different metroCARD, please visit the Adelaide Metro InfoCentre with your Seniors Card and the metroCARD or call the Adelaide Metro InfoLine on 1300 311 108 (7am-8pm daily).
Please note:
- refunds at the Adelaide Metro InfoCentre will be in cash only
- refunds and credit transfers require the Seniors Card member to be present or available via phone
- if you have less than $5 credit, the refund or credit transfer will need to be completed at the Adelaide Metro InfoCentre
- credit, and a recent validation, will still be required on Seniors Cards to access the discounted parking at the Tea Tree Plaza Park ‘n’ Ride.

- Monday to Friday
- midnight to 7am
- 9:01am to 3pm
- 7:01pm to midnight
- All day Saturday, Sunday and public holidays.
A concession fare is required from 7am to 9am and 3pm to 7pm, Monday to Friday.
