Melbourne Public Transport Zones

Metropolitan Melbourne’s public transport network is divided into three zones. The cost of a journey depends on which zones are being travelled in. Metcards (tickets) are available for travel in each of the individual zones, and multi-zone combinations and can be used on any form of transport (bus, train, tram). What areas do the zones cover? Zone One covers the Melbourne city centre and includes the inner suburbs. Zone Two covers the suburbs to the north and west of Zone One, as well as the middle suburbs to the east. Zone Three includes the outer suburbs to the east of Zone Two. The Metropolitan Public Transport Map displays zone and information in more detail.

Please note: On 4 March 2007, the existing three zone ticketing system will be reduced to just two zones. The new, larger Zone 2 will include the outer areas of Melbourne that were previously in Zone 3.

Customers who have been travelling on a Zone 2+3 ticket, will only need to buy Zone 2. Customers who have been travelling on a Zone 1+2+3 ticket will only need to buy Zone 1+2.
