TRAMS
Metropolitan tram services normally operate between 5am and midnight, Monday to Saturday, and 7am to 11pm Sunday. Later services also depart the city on Friday and Saturday nights. Check timetables at Metlink.
Trams travel along most of Melbourne’s major thoroughfares and tram stops are signposted with a map, tram route numbers and timetables. The route number is also displayed at the front of the tram.
Travellers who haven’t pre-purchased their tickets should remember to carry coins, as on-board ticket machines do not accept notes.
Free City Circle trams travel the perimeter of the central business district every day between 10am and 6pm, except for Christmas Day and Good Friday. Hours of operation are extended to 9pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays during daylight saving time.
Melbourne still has a number of the quaint older-style trams, but these are gradually being replaced by shiny, low-floor models, affording improved access for travellers with disabilities.
