Melbourne’s is home to the world’s largest tram network with 29 routes, Australia’s second largest metro railway network with 15 different lines and a bus network with more than 300 routes.  Bike Share is a new public bike-hire system and Melbourne has a large network of bicycle paths and bicycle lanes on roads.

Melbourne Polytechnic's campuses are all located within walking distance to trams, trains and buses. 

Further information about Melbourne’s public transport system can be found on the Transport Victoria website.

Fee-paying international students are not eligible for public transport concessions.

This is a free service but must be pre-arranged with Melbourne Polytechnic at least one week prior to your arrival in Australia.

To arrange for a free airport pick-up, please use an Arrival Notification form and return it to the International Office.  Confirmation is usually sent by the International Office via email.
