List of public transport routes in Adelaide

Public transport in Adelaide, South Australia, is managed by the State Government's Department for Infrastructure & Transport, branded as Adelaide Metro. Today bus services are operated by contractors: Busways, SouthLink, Torrens Connect and Torrens Transit.[1]

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] The city's transport is now managed by the Department of Planning, Transport & Infrastructure, branded as Adelaide Metro.
