Melbourne CBD and nearby, the most commonly used means of transport is tram tram. The tram tracks are spread across Melbourne's downtown streets, almost a block from which there will be a stop. Train and buses, on the other hand, are few in the city, mainly connecting the city and the suburbs. For example, train has only one small loop in CBD and then extends outward to the Melbourne suburbs. Most of Melbourne's attractions are in and around CBD, and Melbourne's CBD is so small that trams are basically able to travel downtown.

At least an hour's drive is required.

3. Methods of purchase and use of Myki cards
Myki cards according to the crowd, in fact, there are several categories, such as children's cards and elderly cards. Here are only the most commonly used full-ticket cards. In the past, visitors can only use this card.) Myki card, the price of the card is that the AUD$6.00, needs to be recharged to use. Myki has been in Melbourne for a while, the card can not be refundable right now! So, when recharging, you should probably estimate how much you will use, this is a skill mental work. Because the card can not be refunded, so as not to lose money.
Myki card usage: Myki card is equivalent to traffic card. The way to use is to get on the bus, pay by card and get off and then pay by card. Streetcars, train and bus swipe sensors display quotas when swiping.
Myki card purchase and recharge: train station ticket window, 7 / 11 and other convenience stores, Myki stores and export retail stores, bus sites and train site storage machine Myki Machine. Card-selling places will generally have a prominent blue-and-yellow Myki logo, very easy to find. Then, the place where the card is sold can be recharged at the same time, and the amount is queried.

Myki card charge: the Myki card is priced on a time basis, such as in area 1 (Zone1): for as long as two hours, no matter how many trains you take, you'll be deducted A $3.50. For more than two hours, they are deducted from US $7. A little good. If you travel on weekends (Saturday and Sunday), all day is a price of A $3.5, regardless of time and area. So, if you're in Melbourne on the weekend, and you're going to take a small fire ride, it would be a good weekend for train, which is only A $3.50 and A $11.84 for a non-weekend. Tram: as far as tourists are concerned, the use of Myki by tram does not exceed area 1 (Zone1). You can view the map of the electric car network.
