Transport

Tram travel is free in Melbourne CBD and the inner city, thanks to the extensive tram network. Melbourne offers affordable public transport options with capped fares, including weekly, monthly, and yearly passes. To access trains, trams, buses, and V/Line trains, get a Myki travel card, and remember to register it for a free replacement if it’s lost.

Taxis/Cabs can be hailed from the kerb from the street-side, at designated areas where you will queue to get a taxi or you can book a cab:

Yellow Cabs – 13 19 24

Uber is used widely and is easily accessible. You’ll get a fare estimate when you select your pick-up and drop-off destinations and can check the driver rating for every ride.

Riding a bike is a great way of getting around and keeping costs down. There are designated bike lanes and tracks around Melbourne to keep you safe.

Just remember, when cycling in Australia, it is illegal to cycle without a helmet. You must also have bells and lights on your bicycle if you plan to cycle at night.
