List of public transport routes in Adelaide

Public transport in Adelaide, South Australia is overseen by the State Government agency Adelaide Metro. Today bus services are operated by three contractors; Light-City Buses, SouthLink and Torrens Transit.[1] Trains and Trams are operated by TransAdelaide.

Historically bus services in Adelaide were operated by private operators. In the 1950s, the Municipal Tramways Trust began operating buses to replace its trams.[2] In the mid-1970s, the Municipal Tramways Trust took over the services of the private operators.[2] In the mid-1990s, provision of services was contracted out to the private sector with TransAdelaide maintaining responsibility for service levels.[3]
