Adelaide Metro is providing free train, tram, and bus services on Saturday, November 8, to help people travel to and from the annual National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant, the largest public street parade in the Southern Hemisphere.
Free public transport will be available from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., allowing families to secure spots behind the Blue Honour Line before Father Christmas arrives. Hundreds of thousands are expected to attend.
Additional Services and Changes
- Extra buses and trains will operate throughout the day.
- Additional services will be added to substitute buses replacing trams on the partially closed Glenelg tram line.
- The Old London Bus and Pageant Express Steam Train will follow the pageant route.
Tram and Bus Route Adjustments on Pageant Day
Tram services will not run on King William Street or the eastern part of North Terrace during the morning, as these streets form part of the pageant route. However, trams will operate between the Entertainment Centre and Adelaide Railway Station.
Some bus stops in the CBD will close, but services will aim to bring passengers as close to the pageant route as possible.
Road Safety Measures
Several road closures will take place in the city to ensure the safety of all attendees during the pageant.
