St Kilda station is a former railway station located right in the middle of St Kilda, it used to be…read morethe terminus of the St Kilda railway line of the Melbourne suburban rail system and is the oldest surviving railway station building in Victoria. It is now accessible by the St Kilda Beach light rail, it is one of only three stations in Victoria to have a 19th century train shed. There is a big bright red sign as you pull into St Kilda Station that is separated into linear panels spelling the letters "Metropol," this sign has become somewhat iconic to St Kilda, and is an association of mine to being at the beach as well as Summer time. Still having remnants of the old railway station there are now a series of shops and cafe's scattered through the old terminal, it is lovely to wander through and think about what the station used to look like on your way on through to St Kilda Beach.

Her driving skills are exemplary and being a passenger on her shift is a pleasure. She is obviously a very experienced driver and this shows at all times. She never takes unnecessary risks and each time, the ride is smooth and calm. She interacts with the passengers and is always helpful. We need more drivers like her on Yarra trams Thank you very much Bronnie. Yvonne

However there are some simple rules I'd suggest. I'm on the 48/75 route. You can wait for 10 mins for a tram and then 2 come more at less at once (48 followed by 75 or vice versa). Please Yarra trams, space them evenly! One every 5 mins in my example. SR

OK, so it feel pretty strange reviewing a bus, but the 246 Bus service (provided by Ventura Buses)…read moreis one of the two great public transport routes in Melbourne city. The 246 runs from Clifton Hill to Elsternwick down the notoriously shit arterials of Hoddle Street and Punt Road. Effectively this links the likes of Elsternwick Park (where the annual Community Cup footy game between the Espy Rockdogs and the RRR & PBS Megahertz has been played for the past few years) and Cliffy Hill; but more importantly, the route cuts through Richmond along the way, therefore eliminating the dogleg into the city for those travelling north to south or vice versa. Now you may be thinking 'so what?' 'So what' is that more often than not, the bus will actually charge on past all traffic stranded on the Hoddle/Punt wasteland and get you to your destination quicker and with less stress than driving. Also, if you've a mind for a few beers say, at the Corner Hotel for example, you can leave the car behind and get yourself a skin full. Plus, bloody nobody uses this service, so you always get a seat. And, it's pretty regular (like every 10 minutes during peak times and 20 minutes for the most part after that). It's gold.

This transport network provides a great public transport system in Victoria, connecting Melbourne…read morewith regional victorian towns. The bus services are economical and provide a cheap and reliable service to many country towns, and even country towns in New South Wales which are situated no longer than an hour away from the New South Wales and Victoria borders. Bookings need to be made in advance, yet it is so easy to do. Back to economical. I travelled to Deniliquin during the Easter break earlier this year; of which took 4 hours from Melbourne on the V/Line coach, and all in all the total investment was only $22.40 return. The service was packed going up there; however there was an abundance of seats available coming back home to Melbourne. The V/Line train service is also fantastic, and the only way to travel is via first class. On some V/Line train services (not all) you have a choice of travelling via first class or economy. You would be foolish if you did not travel on the train via first class. For only an extra $6 per leg from Melbourne to Bendigo (2-hour journey) you have your own private carriage with less seats and no middle seats; extra legroom; seats that recline and have a meal tray. It all makes a lot of sense as economy gets crowded, where there are an abundance of first class seats available. The service is faultless, and the staff (including the train conductors) are friendly, especially on the trip from Melbourne to Bendigo and back.

Essentially, it is just a really trashy place. My friend lives in Mornington so I've gone through Frankston a few times to get to his place and every time I'm there, there has been consistently drunk young people half-dressed walking around barefoot. Nothing troublesome, just obnoxious and trashy. Every now and then you come across a druggie, and the taxi services rig their meters sometimes (confirmed by an honest taxi driver lady). And as a girl, you might come across drunken men who are less-than-subtle about what they want from you. For the most part, Frankston Station isn't trashy. But will you be awfully uncomfortable and want to leave ASAP? Yes.

Doncaster Park and Ride is pretty damn awesome and it makes life easier for hundreds of people…read moreevery single day. It is basically a massive 400-car car park located next to a bus bay. It can be accessed via Doncaster Road and is just before (or after) the entrance to Eastlink freeway. The bus services that run here are: Route 207 - City - Donvale via Doncaster Road Route 280 - Manningham Loop via Tunstall Square SC, Shoppingtown Route 282 - Manningham Mover via Templestowe Village SC, Shoppingtown Route 284 - Doncaster Shoppingtown - Box Hill via Union Road Route 285 - Doncaster Shoppingtown - Camberwell via North Balwyn Route 309 - City - Donvale via Reynolds Road (Freeway Exp) Route 313 - City (Russell Street) - Doncaster Park + Ride via Eastern Freeway and Kilby Road Route 907 - City - Mitcham via Doncaster Road (SMARTBUS Service) Route 908 - City - The Pines via King Street (SMARTBUS Service) In the mornings this place is awesome because buses run almost every five minutes during peak hours. Smart buses are in operation here and screens at the bus stop display exactly how many minutes until the bus will arrive and depart. There is NO myki machine here so you will want to top up your card before you turn up. There are ticket machines though. If it is raining there is plenty of shelter to keep you dry. Perhaps the only bad thing about this place is that during the week the car park is often full by 7.30am and leaving at the end of the day can be painful when all the city workers arrive back at their cars at the same time. Otherwise though it is a super awesome idea and I am a big fan!
