Getting There by Rail
Getting There by Road
Melbourne has an extensive network of electric railways, linked in the city centre by an underground loop-line.
There is also a tram network which has an integrated ticket structure with the bus and rail systems. Tickets should be purchased before boarding, or from onboard vending machines (trams only; and coins only). Fares are zonal, with travel cards for daily or weekly travel and multi-journey tickets. If you purchase a two-hour ticket after 1800, it is valid until services stop that night. The Melbourne City Circle tram, in distinct burgundy and gold colours, is free. Buses are relatively inexpensive and usually air conditioned.
The Melbourne Tourist Shuttle leaves hourly to major attractions in the city and the visitor may join or leave at any stopping point along the journey.
