Adelaide Metro

If you catch a bus on Henley Beach Road or The Parade you'll always know how long you'll wait for the next bus.

With Smart Stop technology you'll know exactly how many minutes until the next bus thanks to the electronic display. There are also audio announcements at the touch of a button.

Day or night you'll know exactly how many minutes until the next bus!

The Smart Stop is fully illuminated so whatever the time you'll know how long until the next bus.

Smart Stops speak too!

Each Smart Stop is equipped with an audio unit which can be activated at the press of a button, telling you the countdown to the next bus.

How does a Smart Stop work?

The Smart Stop is a trial of a customer information system designed to make using the Adelaide Metro public transport system more convenient and easier. It uses the latest satellite tracking systems, on board computers and sophisticated traffic management systems so that your service has Sure Time Running.

• Buses are fitted with an onboard computer and a Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation unit.
• Ticketing and GPS data are fed to the Adelaide Metro's control server - a main computer system at Adelaide Metro.
• The control server predicts what time the bus will reach its next stop based on where the bus is and past travel times from that point to the Smart Stop. The information is relayed to the bus stop and displayed on the Smart Stop display at your stop, both visually and at the touch of a button with audio announcements.

32 Smart Stops have been installed in the City, on Henley Beach Road, Seaview Road and The Parade.
