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.

Currently, all public transport modes in South Australia are privately operated. Adelaide Metro trains are operated by Keolis Downer, and trams are operated by Torrens Connect. Regional bus services are operated by several different private operators, and are not run under the Adelaide Metro banner, meaning these services do not accept MetroCARD or Metroticket payments.

Adelaide Metro buses are split up geographically into six regions, each contracted to a private operator:

There are 4 main lines and 2 branch lines on the Adelaide Metro rail network, spanning approximately 132 km of track.^[5] Construction of a third branch line, the Port Dock line, is currently underway, which will bring the total number of railways lines on the network to seven.^[6] The Seaford, Flinders and Gawler lines are fully electrified, and are operated by A-City 4000 Class trains. The Outer Harbor, Grange and Belair lines are currently operated by diesel-powered 3000 class railcars.^[7]

The Adelaide Metro bus network is considered the back-bone of Adelaide's public transport network. The system also features the O-Bahn Busway, which is a Guided bus service that runs on concrete 'guide' tracks.

Adelaide Metro routes are created on certain criterion:

• Outer North - mostly 400 services
• Outer South - mostly 600 and 700 services
• Outer Northeast - mostly 500 services
• Adelaide Hills - 800 services
• East-West - Mostly 100 services (northwest services are a combination of 200 and 100 services)
• North-south - Mostly 200 services

Letters before the number may include:

• T: Transit Link buses that connect between interchanges and stop at defined stops.
• N: After midnight services that run Saturday night and Sunday morning.
• G, M, J, H and others: Buses that travel through the city (this excludes the J7 and J8 services that only service the western suburbs).

Letters after the number may include:

• X: An express stop that does not pick up or drop off passengers for a section of its route. This does not include the G20X, G21X, G22X and G30X services, which act as transit link services
• F: A service with limited drop off and pick up once they reach a defined stop.
  • When traveling into the city, these buses will drop off passengers but not pick up
  • When traveling from the city, these buses will pick up passengers but not drop off
• C or other: A service that is doing a different version of a route.
  • Example 1: the 541 starts in the city and finishes at Fairview Park. The 541G starts from the city goes past Fairview park and all the way to Golden Grove
  • Example 2: The G10 goes from Blair Athol to Marion Centre interchange. The G10C terminates in the city but still starts from Blair Athol or Bedford Park.
