As of next year there will be some changes to Melbourne's public transport system

Under the Andrews government Melbourne is set to have 24 hr transport as of next year. This will come as good news for students who study and work late into the night. But it is only a trial.



There will be trams every 30 minutes on six of Melbourne's busiest routes.

These are the trams to run every half hour.
• 19 - North Coburg to Flinders Street
• 67 - Melbourne University to Carnegie
• 75 - Docklands to Vermont South
• 86 - Bundoora RMIT to Docklands
• 96 - Brunswick to St Kilda
• 109 - Box Hill to Port melbourne

Trains will run one every hour to get people home safely.

Students there is no need for a cab now or the Nightirder bus. We welcome this move as it is a safer and cheaper option to get students home. Many students work late or study late at uni.
