Melbourne – Public Transport

Spring Holiday in Melbourne!!! Hubby and myself spend 10 days in this lovely city of Australia and at the same time paid a visit to our son who is studying at University of Melbourne. Moving around in Melbourne is very convenient because it has a very good public transportation network. There are buses, trams and trains and most of them passes through the famous Flinders Street Station (on the corner of Flinders and Swanston Street).

A daily Metlink ticket allows you unlimited travel on all buses, trams and trains within the Zone you purchase for that date. Tickets can be purchase at most convenience stores, on the trams and train stations.

There are plenty of trams plying the streets and here are some of the nicer ones……

Another type of tram is the City Circle Tram – which is free for everyone. It only travels around the Central Business District (CBD).

To me, the most gorgeous way of seeing the city is by taking a ride on a horse carriage. There are various type of carriages. Having a ride on a horse carriage looks romantic, don’t you agree !!!

Its clean and safe environment makes Melbourne a nice city to visit. To know more, do check out www.visitmelbourne.com/ .
