What the app is for
Adelaide Metro Buy & Go is a ticketing app for public transport in Adelaide, South Australia. It covers buses, trams and trains on the Adelaide Metro network, so you can pay for a trip without buying a paper ticket or using cash. The developer is the Government of South Australia.
It suits people who use Adelaide Metro regularly, families travelling together, and visitors who want a short pass. To buy, you need a Visa or Mastercard credit or debit card, an email address and a smartphone.
Buying singletrips, daytrips and visitor passes
The app sells Regular, Concession and Student singletrips and daytrips. It also sells a 3-Day Visitor Pass. Each ticket is priced the same as the equivalent metroCARD fare, according to the listing.
Purchased tickets stay in the app for up to 12 months. You can buy ahead and use them whenever you travel, rather than buying each trip on the day.
Activating a ticket and scanning it at the validator
A purchased ticket is not used until you activate it. Activation happens just before you board, and it turns the ticket into an active ticket with a QR code. You then scan that code on a smart validator when you board or when you transfer within the Adelaide Metro network.
You can activate a single ticket for one traveller, or up to five tickets together for a group. The listing presents this as a way to travel with others without needing a car park.
Where Buy & Go tickets are accepted
Tickets work on any Adelaide Metro bus or tram. They also cover transfers to trains departing from Adelaide Railway Station. Buy & Go tickets are accepted on Adelaide Metro buses that run to and from Adelaide Airport.
The listing does not describe other routes or operators, so the coverage is limited to the Adelaide Metro services named above.
