PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Flinders Street Station is the main metro train station connecting the city and suburbs.
The 'City Loop' runs under the city, linking the four corners of the CBD.
An extensive network of trams covers every corner of the city, running north-south
and east-west along most major roads. Trams run roughly every 10 minutes Monday to
Friday, every 15 minutes on Saturday and every 20 minutes on Sunday.
Check Public Transport Victoria (PTV; 1800 800 007; www.ptv.vic.gov.au ; Southern Cross Station;
Southern Cross) for more information. Also worth considering is the free City Circle Tram
( Click here ) , which loops around town.
Bicycles cannot be taken on trams or buses, but can be taken on metropolitan trains.
Melbourne's buses, trams and trains use myki ( www.myki.com.au ) , the controversial 'touch-
on, touch-off' travel-pass system. It's not particularly convenient for short-term visitors,
requiring you to purchase a $6 plastic myki card and then put credit on it before you
travel. Cards can be purchased from machines at stations, 7-Eleven stores or newsagents,
but some hostels collect myki cards from travellers who leave Melbourne. Travellers are
best advised to buy a myki Visitor Pack ($14), which gets you one day's travel and dis-
counts on various sights; available only from the airport, SkyBus terminal or the PTV Hub
at Southern Cross Station.
