List of Melbourne tram routes

Main article: Trams in Melbourne

Melbourne's tram network is a major form of transportation in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, consisting of 24 tram routes. The system is owned by Public Transport Victoria. Yarra Journey Makers (trading as Yarra Trams), a joint venture of Transdev and John Holland Group,^[1][2] operates the network.^[3] The tram network consists of over 250 kilometres (160 miles) of duplicated track in all 24 routes, making it the largest tram network in the world.^[4]

The tram network consists of around 1,700 stops, with over 450 of them accessible to passengers.^[4] Some tram stops can be accessed by ramps, making them compliant to the Disability Discrimination Act 1992. Accessible low-floor trams are also operational.^[5]

The tram network uses the Myki ticketing system, with the exception of the Free Tram Zone, which covers travel inside of the Melbourne CBD.^[6] The City Circle tourist tram also does not use Myki.^[7] All tram routes are within fare zone 1, with some stops on routes 75, 86, and 109 being in the zone 1 and 2 overlap.^[8]
