Melbourne Visitor Shuttle

GETTING AROUND Trams Services operate daily until midnight with extended hours to 1am on Friday and Saturday nights. Tram route numbers and destinations are displayed at the front of each tram and timetables are available at tram stops.

Free City Circle Tram

myki ticketing myki is Melbourne’s public transport ticketing system, and uses myki cards – reusable smartcards that store credit – for travel on all metropolitan (and selected regional) train, tram and bus services.

You can purchase and top up myki cards at: • any retailer where you see the myki sign.

• PTV Hubs located in the city centre • myki machines at all train stations and selected accessible tram stops and bus interchanges.

These historic W-Class trams (Route 35) travel a circular route around the perimeter of the city centre passing many major attractions, and linking to other tram, train and bus routes across Melbourne.

Free Tram Zone The new Free Tram Zone makes Melbourne’s Central Business District (CBD) and Docklands accessible to all. You don’t even need a myki card! Remember the free zone only applies to trams, not trains or buses.

For exact boundaries of the free tram zone, check out maps at tram stops.

Board the bus at any one of the 13 stops at key city destinations.

These shuttle services run between 9.30am and 4.30pm daily. A round trip takes approximately 90 minutes and includes on-board commentary. A daily pass on the shuttle costs $5. Children under the age of 10 travel free. For more information visit meboourne.vic. gov.au/shuttle.
