TransAdelaide

TransAdelaide was a publicly owned corporation which provided suburban train and tram services in Adelaide, South Australia, under contract to the Government of South Australia.

Between 4 July 1994, and 22 April 2000, TransAdelaide also operated local bus services in Adelaide. All metropolitan bus routes have since been transferred to private companies such as Torrens Transit, but TransAdelaide retained the contract to maintain and operate the rail system until at least April 2010.

TransAdelaide was part of the Adelaide Metro public transport system. Adelaide Metro is a trading brand of the S.A. Government’s Office of Public Transport, which provides funding, coordination and a central publicity and marketing service for public transport in the city. Adelaide Metro also administers the Metroticket system, which allows unlimited transfers between all buses, trains and trams in the Adelaide metropolitan area within a ticket’s period of validity.

TransAdelaide was abolished in late 2010, and its staff and functions were transferred to the newly created Office of the Rail Commissioner.
