Actually a simple shelter prevent passengers get wet during rainy days
and timetable/connection will do for me. (similar to corner of
Burke/Swanston Street)

I usually park my car near Melbourne University/Lygon Street and take
trams to center of the city, it's a lot cheaper then park in those
parking tower within the city and much faster then taking trains. Lots
of my friends do the same, this will attract people for sure.

But this will attract closer suburbans like Kew, Burwood, or Clifton
Hill/Fairfield area residents.

By the way, the paper also said Yarra tram will unveil new color scheme
soon!
hmmmm, it seems to me the days of green and yellow are numbered.
