There is a bus connecting the Adelaide CBD with The Retreat, next to the YM24 venue.

South Australian Seniors Card members can travel free on Adelaide Metro buses, trains and trams at all times.

For interstate seniors, bus travel in Adelaide can be free for 14 days in a row between 9 am and 3 pm and after 7 pm Monday-Friday and at all times on the weekend. To get your temporary seniors ticket for the Adelaide Metro, you can visit one of several locations in Adelaide and present your interstate seniors card. These locations include the Adelaide Railway Station, in the city at 25 Pirie Street, and near the airport at Glenelg. 

Interstate seniors can buy a concession Metro card for the peak times (7 am to 9 am and 3 pm to 7 pm Monday-Friday), from one of the many Metro card agent locations in Adelaide.

Alternatively, interstate seniors can order a concession Metro card online before you come to South Australia and it will be posted to you. Make sure you organise this at least two weeks before you travel to allow time for processing and posting to your interstate address.

You can no longer pay with cash when you catch a bus, train or tram in Adelaide. You will need to get a Metro card before catching public transport.  Another option on some buses, trains and trams will be to pay full fare using "tap and pay" with your bank card.
