- Summary of bus routes
About 160 routes running all over Melbourne metropolitan area. They are
operated both by The Met and by private bus contractors. All regular
bus services have route numbers. The government has begun contracting
out the remaining Met bus routes to private companies.
- V/Line country services in the suburban area (Met tickets apply):
- Melton to Sunshine
- Sunbury to St Albans
- Cranbourne to Dandenong
- Craigieburn to Broadmeadows
- Special Services:
- Nightrider bus service. On Friday and Saturday nights, hourly between
12:30am and 3:30am, buses run between the city (corner of Swanston
Street Walk and Flinders Lane) and Bayswater, Broadmeadows, Croydon,
Dandenong, Eltham, Epping, Frankston, St Albans and Werribee.
Additional services (4:30am, 5:30am, 6:30am) run on the
Broadmeadows, Dandenong and Eltham routes.) Buses stop at 12-18
locations on each route, and passengers can alight at any normal bus
or tram stop. Met tickets do not apply to this service. A flat fare
of $5.00 for two hours applies to all passengers. All buses are
equipped with mobile phones, to enable passengers to phone ahead for
people to meet them, or for a taxi home.

- Telebus: 4 bus routes in the Lilydale/Ringwood area that will
divert on request to pick up passengers.

(both former heavy rail lines.) This enables the articulated trams
on these routes to run at high speed on those sections, close to
that of heavy rail services.

cuts have prevented further such trains)
- Historic Transit:
- most tram services on routes 8, 10-12, 15/16 (and more on

trams

of Interest)

Historical Railway Society, usually from Melbourne to country
destinations

* About every second train running between here and the city stops
at minor (ie not highlighted) stations. [See map below] Generally
all trains stop at all stations on Sundays.
Services between the city and Footscray, Caulfield, Clifton Hill,
Burnley, Ringwood and Camberwell are provided by trains from the two
or more lines that branch from these stations. [See map below]
Frequencies listed as, for example, Caulfield 9/11 indicates that two
lines pass through this point at 20 minute intervals. In this
example, trains to the city come from Frankston, then 9 minutes
later from Dandenong, then 11 minutes later another from Frankston.
+ Service on Upfield line on Sundays and evenings is provided by
the adjacent 19 tram and co-ordinated bus service. Service on
Pakenham line on Sundays is provided by two V/Line country trains
each way. Met tickets are valid on this section.
# Passengers are required to change trains (co-ordinated service) at a
major station between the city and terminus. This applies to off-
peak Alamein and Williamstown trains, some Belgrave and Lilydale
during evenings, Pakenham off-peak, and all Stony Point trains
(Stony Point is the only metropolitan rail line not electrified, and
runs a limited diesel service at irregular intervals).
Most trains run through the city loop. Weekday morning trains into the
city run through the loop first then to Flinders St, then to
suburban destinations. Saturday, and weekday afternoon and evening
trains into the city run direct to Flinders St, then around the loop
and to suburban destinations. No loop trains run on Sundays
(exceptions during Christmas shopping period). Allow 9 minutes extra
time for trains running via the loop.

All peak services are two man (driver and conductor) crews. Some
off-peak, most evening, and many weekend services are driver only.

zones are overlapping circles - the further from the city centre you
are, the higher the zone number. Zone 1 runs approximately to the edges
of the tram system. (See the rail map below)

district, within about a kilometre of the city centre.

most trains operate with only the last carriage available to
passengers, to reduce vandalism and increase safety.
- Tram: board by any open door, except on Z class trams, and trams
marked as "Driver Only", which should be boarded by the front door.
(Z class trams are the pointy ones, and have "Do not enter" signs
on rear doors). To protect tram passengers, Victorian (state) road
laws prohibit motorists driving past trams which are stationary at
stops, unless the stop is inside a safety zone (fenced area between
the road and the track).
- Bus: board by front door.
- Alighting procedures
- Rail: open doors by hand when door power is released by the guard
(you will hear an audible click).
- Tram: pull cord for next stop. On the old W class (wooden) trams,
you must pull the LEFT hand cord. On Z class trams, you should
exit via the rear doors. Motorists are required by law to stop
for passengers alighting from trams. But "Watch out before you step
out".
- Bus: pull cord or press button for next stop. On some buses, you may
have to exit via the rear door/s.
- Fare procedures
- Rail: buy ticket at station before travel; show valid ticket when
leaving station at your destination, if the gate is manned. At
city stations, you may also have to show your ticket when entering
the station. Ticket inspectors also patrol trains.
- Bus: pay as you board (or show valid ticket). Exact change is not
required, although large notes may not be accepted. Keep your ticket
as proof of payment until you alight.
- Tram: pay conductor (or show valid ticket). On Z class trams, when
paying, place your money in the tray in front of the conductor.
On driver only trams, pay the driver. Exact change is not required,
although large notes may not be accepted. Keep your ticket as proof
of payment until you alight.

funding is from the Victorian state government. The current defecit is
estimated at about $2 billion per year. (It is usually conveniently
forgotten that the road system costs more than four times this amount).
The government has committed itself to cutting the deficit.
RECENT AND EXPECTED CHANGES AND MODIFICATIONS
- tender of nine country rail lines, to be replaced with private buses
or privately operated trains
- automatic ticket machines to replace some railway station staff and tram
conductors. Many tram routes made driver-only on weekends and evenings
- driver only trains to be introduced
- many government bus routes to be put out to tender to be run by private
bus companies
- some Public Transport Corporation depots and workshops to be closed
and/or privatised
- City Circle train service deleted as of August 1993
- East Burwood 75 tram extension opened July 1993
- City Tram loop to open 1994
- All but 50 W-class trams to phased out of regular service. W-class trams
to be run only on tourist routes, including the new City Tram Loop. The
"phased out" trams will be kept in storage for special events.
