If you caught a Torrens Transit bus on October 18, you may have noticed some of the drivers swapping their everyday uniforms for vibrant and eye-popping shirts, for the annual Loud Shirt Day.
The initiative is set to add a burst of colour to bus rides across Adelaide, all in support of Can:Do 4Kids – a charity that provides essential support for deaf and hearing-impaired children.

The Torrens Transit team have been participating in the day for 11 years, sporting vibrant tropical prints to retro neon styles to raise funds and awareness for Can:Do 4Kids, making a meaningful impact on the lives of these children.
“Loud Shirt Day is about making some noise visually and raising money for Can:Do 4Kids. We are excited to have our drivers bring a smile to our passengers,” Torrens Transit managing director Andrew Jenkinson says.
“This year marks the 11th year that Torrens Transit has proudly supported this event and we are committed to making an even bigger impact. It’s also an opportunity to encourage more people to jump on board and join in the colourful fun while making a real difference.”
Torrens Transit trainer Matthew Norton says he was excited to take part in Loud Shirt Day, a long-standing tradition at the company.
“I’m thrilled to be part of this fun and meaningful event! I hope my loud shirt helps spread awareness for Can:Do 4Kids and brings a smile to our customers’ faces,” he says.
Jenkinson says every dollar raised for Can:Do 4Kids helps provide vital services that empower children to live their best lives.
“We can’t wait to see the colourful attire from Torrens Transit’s drivers who go above and beyond in a kaleidoscopic array of colours to support the kids.”
