    Finding your way around

    Most hotels listed on the Accommodation page are within five kilometres of Concordia College, which is south of Adelaide's CBD.

    Accommodation

    Transport

    Adelaide Metro

    www.adelaidemetro.com.au

    For those who wish to take public transport, the Adelaide Metro webpage is great for helping find public transportation routes. Some may need to take more than one bus service to get to a location and may require some walking between stops. Trains and trams are also available depending on accommodation. Note: Purchasing tickets or paying with cash on Adelaide metro buses is no longer available.

    Most major news agencies and post office branches carry metroCARDs for sale and can recharge them. On most forms of public transportation in Adelaide, we now offer tap and pay, which allows you to use your Visa or Mastercard to pay for your fares. Simply tap your card on the reader when entering a train, tram or bus.

    Using your Visa or Mastercard will charge regular rates. If you are a student or hold a concession card, those rates will only apply with the use of a metroCARD.

    Please note that on free tram services within city limits, if travelling further, the PA announcement will prompt you to pay.

    Visit www.adelaidemetro.com.au/tickets-and-fares/seniors-card/ for information on how to use your seniors card on Adelaide Metro.

    Taxi services

    Adelaide has a range of taxi services available for those not wanting to travel on public transport, are staying further away from Concordia College, or need transportation to and from Adelaide Airport.

    Suburban Taxis Adelaide www.suburbantaxis.com.au
    13cabs Australia www.13cabs.com.au

    Uber

    For those who are comfortable using Uber services – booking and navigating the app – Uber is an option you may wish to use.

    Car hire

    Many delegates may have already sought car hire while planning their trip. For those wanting to explore the options, visit Economy Bookings at www.economybookings.com, which allows you to explore options available in Adelaide.

    Electric vehicle charging stations

    Use the RAA's locator tool to find an RAA Charge electric vehicle charging station for your journey.

    Find an RAA Charge station

    Bus routes

    The following contains instructions for travel to Concordia College from various major roads close to accommodation.

This information can be found on Google Maps or the Adelaide Metro site. The maps below will be a useful guide for identifying stops along your journey.
