Urgently demanding Melbourne's traffic rules.

Melbourne's urban public transport system is very impressive-efficient, cheap, safe and extensive. The system includes light rail, tram and bus. Trams criss-crossing can reach every corner of the city, which is probably the public transport you use most often, unless you go to the suburbs; It is estimated that one car will be available every 3 to 12 minutes on weekdays and about 20 minutes on weekends. The city loop tram runs around the central business district, free of charge.

The public transport system is divided into two districts (originally divided into three districts). The 1 area includes all suburbs, most tram networks, and an area extending about15km from the central business district. Area 2 includes the middle and outer suburbs.

Tickets in 1 zone can be used for three modes of transportation (bus, tram and train), and can be taken unlimited times within the validity period: 2-hour tickets (AUD 3.70 for adults), daily tickets (AUD 6.80 for adults) and weekly tickets (AUD 29.40 for adults). And there will be a Sunday special card on Sunday, as long as 3. 10 Australian dollars. With the Sunday discount card, you can ride all day in 1 zone and zone 2 for an unlimited number of times. However, these tickets can only be purchased at train stations and Metcard retailers (usually small grocery stores and convenience stores), which are all sold manually. Trams and station ticket vending machines can't issue tickets, so they can only continue to charge according to the normal full-price tickets.

You can get on the tram without checking in. Although it is possible to evade tickets, if the inspectors find that they have not bought tickets at will, they will have to pay a fine of up to 100 Australian dollars. Even if you use the excuse that you are a foreign tourist "don't know", I'm afraid you can't get rid of the fate of heavy punishment. You need to check in to get on the bus and light rail. In addition-when you buy a tram ticket (if you don't buy it on the tram), please activate it in the electronic ticket box on the tram-if you don't do this, even if the ticket in your hand is real, the ticket inspector can still fine you. Remember to activate it every time you use it. Only in this way can the traffic system monitor where the tram service is most needed.

There is also a very useful trick-a two-hour ticket is activated on or after the hour, and it is valid for the next three hours-because these two hours are counted from the next hour after the ticket is activated.

If you buy a two-hour ticket in the evening and activate it after six o'clock, it will be valid for the rest of the evening. After midnight every night from Sunday to Thursday, public transportation (except night bus on Friday and Saturday) stops running and you can take a taxi. Taxis can be parked directly on the street, or you can call in advance to make an appointment.

There are many scenic spots and places of interest in Melbourne, all within walking distance, so if you want to save money or do some exercise after eating and drinking the night before, go hiking. There is no better way to feel a new place than hiking. In this way, I can stop where I want to stop and look at the deep streets.

It is also a good choice to visit Melbourne by using free tourist transportation service. You can try a new shuttle bus, which runs every 10 to 4 pm every 15 minutes and goes to Melbourne 15 interesting sites. You can get on and off at any stop. In the information center of Federal Square, you can get a brochure detailing the scenic spots and places of interest, or you can download it directly from the Internet.

The city loop free tram also goes around Melbourne for a week. With explanations, you can get off at any scenic spot. There is also an introduction brochure for this route, and you can also check the route and timetable online.
