Get a Free Return Bus Ride to Try Before You Ride – Accessible Public Transport Event
📍 Southern Cross Station | 🗓16 October 2025

Metro Trains Melbourne and the City of Melbourne are offering FREE door-to-door (point-to-point) transport for participants attending the Public Transport Try Before You Ride event.

🚐 If you or a family member use a wheelchair, mobility aid, or experience physical, mental, or linguo-cultural restrictions, you don’t need to worry about how to get there — professional drivers will pick you up from your home and return you afterwards.

At the event you’ll learn:

✨ How to safely use mobility aids on trains, trams, buses, and taxis.

✨ Tips for boarding, using ramps and lifts, and securing your device.

✨ What size and weight limits apply for mobility devices.

✨ How high-capacity wheelchair-accessible vehicles support larger devices.

This is a supportive, hands-on opportunity to gain confidence and independence using public transport. Everyone is welcome to come along and give it a go.
