Getting more Victorians to the footy



The State Government will help thousands of Victorians get to the footy faster and easier with more frequent tram services to run from Monday 14 April.

Passengers on routes 48, 70 and 75 will benefit from increased services on Friday and Saturday nights – with trams arriving every 15 minutes until 11pm along the entire route.

In total, there will be 21 additional weekly services added to routes 48, 70 and 75, including 11 that run the length of the route and 10 that start or end at the Camberwell Depot.

“These changes will make it easier and more convenient to catch a tram to the ‘G or Melbourne Park and will provide more options for those traveling to the city for a night out.” Minister for Public and Active Transport Gabrielle Williams said.

The changes reflect passenger feedback, with more demand for evening and weekend services and a reduction in some early morning and shoulder peak services.

The new timetable will be available from today at ptv.vic.gov.au or via the Journey Planner app.
