Getting
Around
|
|
It's
easy to get around
Melbourne due to an
integrated network
of trains, trams and
buses. Melbourne's
efficient train
system covers city
and suburban
destinations.
Flinders Street
Station is the
center of
Melbourne's train
system, and all
metropolitan trains
begin or end their
journey there.
The
city's famous trams
travel along most of
Melbourne's major
thoroughfares,
extending out to
about 15 kilometres
into the suburbs. Or
else use the
burgundy and gold
city Circle Tram
which provides a
free 30-minute
circuit around the
city centre, linking
major attractions
and other transport
routes.
Melbourne's
bus network links
with trains and
trams, as well as
services other
destinations
overlooked by either
train or tram.
Taxis
(obviously on
yellow), boat, and
cycling are possible
choices of getting
around Melbourne.
However the city
centre can be easily
explored by foot.
