Free public transport for Ashes Test

Tuesday 16 December 2025

The Aussies will look to clinch the Ashes when it kicks off tomorrow, as Adelaide Oval hosts the Third Test between Australia and England (17-21 December) in front of an expected sell-out crowd.

Whether you’re Travball or Bazball, free travel is available on all regular Adelaide Metro bus, train and tram services each day of the test, simply show your ticket when boarding or when asked by staff.

Additional bus, train and tram services will also be running on the weekend to make sure fans don’t miss a moment.

With many cricket fans staying at Glenelg for the week, additional express substitute bus services will also operate each day, before and after the day’s play.

These services are free for Ashes ticket holders and will pick up and set down from Wigley Reserve, Glenelg and King William Road, right next to Adelaide Oval – ensuring spectators don’t miss any early English wickets.

Fans are encouraged to visit adelaidemetro.com.au to check their timetable in real time and plan their trip. 

With the summer of cricket just getting started, fans will also enjoy free travel on buses, trains and trams for all big Bash League matches and Australia’s blockbuster T20 clash against India at Adelaide Oval:
