Yarra Trams
Yarra Trams is the tram network that runs through Melbourne, connecting different neighborhoods and districts. The system features numerous lines with red and green carriages that travel on tracks throughout the city, reaching places from the central business area to residential zones.
The first tram began running in Melbourne about 150 years ago, marking the start of a system that shapes the city to this day. The network expanded over the following decades and remained central to Melbourne's transport infrastructure.
Trams have been woven into Melbourne's daily life for more than a century and shape how the city feels. Locals and visitors use them not just to travel, but to experience the streets and neighborhoods from a different vantage point.
Trams run regularly on their routes and are easy to spot by watching for marked stops along the streets. Most lines operate frequently during the day, making them a straightforward way to navigate the city without needing a car.
Melbourne operates one of the world's longest tram networks, and certain lines run free of charge through the central business district. This makes it possible to explore much of the downtown area simply and affordably.
