Adelaide Metro Offers Free Bus Rides During Christmas Pageant
Adelaide Metro is providing free travel on buses, trains, and trams from 6am to 2pm on Saturday, November 8, 2025, to help families attend the National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant.
This initiative, returning for 2025, aims to make it easier for thousands of South Australians to enjoy the state’s most cherished annual celebration, the largest public street parade in the southern hemisphere, which attracted over 300,000 attendees last year.
Increased Services to Accommodate Crowds
- Extra buses and trains will operate throughout the morning to manage larger crowds.
- Additional substitute buses will run along the Glenelg tram corridor during ongoing upgrade works.
Supporting Families and Safety Measures
“Adelaide Metro is so pleased to provide free public transport to help children and families get to the city for the National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant,” said spokesperson Michelle Spagnoletti.
“We’ll have additional services running on the day, so hop on board and leave the car at home.”
To ensure safety, several road closures and temporary bus stop changes will be implemented across the CBD during the event.
