The bus services are broken up into different zones, and crossing into each zone charges a different rates. (The further you go, the more you pay; naturally)
I bought 3 day-trip tickets during my stay in Adelaide and they brought me to places such as Glenelg, Brighton, Henley Beach and Hanhdorf. A Daytrip ticket allows unlimited travel and transfers on the Adelaide Metro system from the time of first validation until 4.30am in the morning. You can hop on and off at will, stopping at places you wanted to explore. On weekends and public holidays, two children under 15 years of age can travel FREE when accompanied by an adult using a Daytrip ticket.
Then (circa 2001), it was A$5.80, now it is $A6.60 (circa Jul 2005).
Your Metroticket must be stamped (validated) every time you board an Adelaide Metro bus, train or tram.
