Buses in Melbourne

Melbourne’s bus network is reasonably good, servicing the same routes as trams, as well as destinations overlooked by trains or trams. The only downside with buses is that they tend to take longer, often getting bunched up in traffic during peak periods.

While it’s best to pre-purchase your ticket before travelling, a limited range of tickets may also be purchased onboard from the driver. For bus information, timetables and fares, visit Metlink.

Probably the most useful service for travellers is the NightRider. The after midnight bus service travels from the city to the suburbs, departing Swanston Street (between Collins and Flinders streets) hourly from 12.30am to 4.30am on Saturday and Sunday mornings, with connecting services to Crown Casino. Onboard public phones are available so you can call a taxi or a friend to collect you from the bus stop.

NightRider operate low-floor wheelchair accessible buses with stepless entry, making it easier for people using wheelchairs or with limited mobility to board and move around the vehicles with ease. You should call ahead to confirm low-floor buses.

Special services also operate during the year to support major Melbourne events like the Australian Grand Prix and New Year’s Eve.
