Hello everybody,
Basically, I'm just here to tell about trams in Melbourne.Melbourne has 476 trams-old & new operating in an extensive network. Buses is not a popular type of transport in Melbourne. I travelled on trams mostly while I was on Melbourne.
The trams were previously operated by 2 operators,namely M>Trams & Yarra Trams. Come early 2004, M>Trams, whose parent company was 'The Met' decided to stop operating trams, so, they only operated trains. Yarra Trams took over all the tram routes in Melbourne. There are 27 Tram routes in Melbourne. Most of this routes start from "University" & "Flinders Street" station and this routes end at the Suburbs of melbourne.
Melbourne's bus companies has the latest type of bus models operating, but at the same time, they also have very,very old buses. I only managed to get 2 route's service guides.
I took some service guides @ the Melbourne Visitor Centre & also on board the trams. I have extras of Melbourne Tram & Bus Guides.Anyon who is interested, please PM me.
The free city circle tram is for tourists and it uses trams from the 1920s
