Getting around Melbourne

Getting around Melbourne

Melbourne has an extensive network of public transport including trains, trams and buses. It’s also great for cyclists!

To travel on Melbourne's trains, trams and buses, you need a Myki card. As an RMIT Training student, you do not qualify for concession (student) travel card, which means you have to buy a full fare Myki card. You can purchase your Myki card from premium major train stations such as Flinders Street Station or Melbourne Central Station. It is important to make sure you have money on your Myki card, and that you tap on when you board. You can be fined if you have the wrong card or if you travel without tapping your card when getting on a train, tram of bus. 

There are many places to top up your Myki, including 7-Eleven stores, train stations and some tram stops, and if you register your Myki Card you can also top up online.

Cycling is another great way to get around. It’s fast, cheap, healthy and a great way to get to know the city. Melbourne also has an extensive network of bicycle tracks you can access.   

It is compulsory to wear a helmet when you ride a bike, and you can get fined if you don’t wear one (it’s also not safe!). You can find out more about the rules that you must follow when riding a bike here. 

Second hand bikes are easy to find, you don’t need to buy a top of the range bike! The best place to look for second hand bikes (and lots of other things too!) is on Gumtree.
