All Adelaide Metro bus, train and trams have onboard video surveillance. More than 1,300 cameras are across the network, including bus interchanges and train stations. We continue to install and upgrade surveillance systems for better coverage and to help police with investigations.

We work closely with SA Police  to maintain a safe and security environment. Plain-clothed and uniformed police officers regularly move through the public transport network. Police can travel for free on public transport and can intervene at any time.

Contracted security services and guards also work across the public transport network. Their services include:

  • roving security guards,
  • mobile security patrols at night,
  • night guard patrols on trains,
  • night guard patrols on trams on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays,
  • dog patrols,
  • monitoring video surveillance.

24-hour emergency phones are available at stations. Using these phones alerts security staff to monitor the cameras in the area around the phone.
