Adelaide’s tram customers are now experiencing unprecedented access to services and a more efficient and comfortable journey with all six brand new Citadis ‘Euro’ trams operational.

Improvements were most evident in the morning peak where the number of services arriving in the city from Glenelg has increased by around 30 per cent.

In a few weeks since the start of services on the extension to the Entertainment Centre the tramline has started to realise its potential as a key part of a mass transit system.

The commissioning of six new trams has allowed TransAdelaide Metro far greater flexibility with timetabling and provided the opportunity to run more services on the Glenelg line where they are needed most, in and around the am and pm peaks.

Customers now have more options to catch a tram to and from work, rather than take the car, and know that they will arrive at their destination faster and with minimal delays.

This includes both the capacity increases on the Glenelg line as well as the new opportunity for commuters to access the park and ride facility and free tram travel at the Entertainment Centre.

Among the improvements to tram services from March 22:

• 29% increase in tram arrivals in the city from Glenelg between 8am and 9am weekdays
• 14% increase in tram departures from city to Glenelg between 4:45pm and 5:45pm weekdays
• Total number of weekday services through the city centre increased by 5%
• First am service running 15 minutes earlier
• Last late night service running from the City at 12:40am – 37 minutes later than previous
• Additional late night service running from the City at 12:20am

Customers can now also travel further for free, with the City Shuttle service extended from South Terrace through to the new West Terrace tram stop.

In addition, for the next six months the free service also extends to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre where customers can park for $2 all day.

Adding services around those traditionally very busy times in the morning and afternoons to spread the load means there is more flexibility for customers.

TransAdelaide are pleased to be able to offer their customers more options and for more people to be able to realise the benefits of using our ever improving public transport system.
