Integrated Public Transport
Melbourne’s
Metlink ticketing system allows multiple journeys using the complete
Metlink transport network. Tickets are known as Metcards and provide
flexible travel on trains, trams and buses. Check maps located at
stations, tram stops and on transport to match your ticket to your
journey. Melbourne can also provide Delegate Passes on its transport
network which can be supplemented by coach shuttle services if
required. The $700 million Southern Cross Station (formerly Spencer Street
Station) now nearing completion will provide a major transport hub for
interstate and metropolitan trains and the Airport Shuttle (Skybus).
