As of May The Melbourne Tram Book, the Melbourne tramway network consists of kilometres miles of double track, trams, 24 routesand 1, tram stops. Trams have operated continuously in Melbourne since the horse tram line in Fairfield opened inbut was at best an irregular The Melbourne Tram Book. Since then they have become a distinctive part of Melbourne's character and feature in tourism and travel advertising. Melbourne's cable tram system opened inand expanded to one of the largest in the world, with 75 kilometres The first electric tram line opened inbut closed only a few years later in In electric tram systems were opened in St Kilda and Essendonmarking the start of continuous operation of Melbourne's electric trams. The network has been operated under contract since the commencement of franchising, following the privatisation of the Public Transport Corporation in The current private operator contracted to run Melbourne's tram system is Keolis Downertrading as Yarra The Melbourne Tram Book. Ticketing, The Melbourne Tram Book information and patronage promotion are undertaken by Victoria's public transport body, Public Transport Victoria. The multi-modal integrated ticketing system, mykicurrently operates across the tram network. At some Melbourne intersections most within the CBDmotor vehicles are required to perform a hook turna manoeuvre designed to give trams priority. Melbourne's first tram was a horse tram from Fairfield railway station to a real estate development in Thornbury ; it opened on 20 Decemberand was closed by Although several lines were originally intended to be horse trams, and the MTOC did operate three horse tram lines on the edges of the system, the core of the system was built as cable trams. The MTT was responsible for the construction of tracks and engine house, while The Melbourne Tram Book MTOC built the depots, offices and arranged for the delivery or construction of the rolling stock. This was Melbourne's only non-MTOC cable tram, built by local The Melbourne Tram Book speculators and was operated as an independent line, feeding the Clifton Hill line. From the cable tram lines were progressively converted to electric trams, or abandoned in favour of buses, with the last Melbourne cable tram operating on 26 October The first electric tram in Melbourne was built in by the Box Hill and Doncaster The Melbourne Tram Book Company Limited—an enterprise formed by a group of land developers—and ran from Box Hill railway station along what is now Station Street and Tram Road to Doncasterusing equipment left over from the Centennial International Exhibition of at the Royal Exhibition Building. The venture was marred with The Melbourne Tram Book and operational problems, and ultimately failed, with the service ceasing in A corrupt politician and leading land boomer, he stood to benefit from construction of the line, through The Melbourne Tram Book increased value of his large land holdings in the area, and pushed through the legislation to enable to building of the line by the VR in A fire at the Elwood tram depot on 7 March destroyed the depot and all the trams. The Melbourne Tram Book resumed on 17 March using four C-class The Melbourne Tram Book and three D-class trams from Sydneywhich were altered to run on VR trucks salvaged from the fire. These trams sufficed until Newport Workshops built 14 new trams. VR opened a second, standard gauge, electric tramway from Sandringham The Melbourne Tram Book station to Black Rock on 10 Marchit was extended to Beaumaris on 2 September The service was withdrawn on 5 November and replaced with buses. The Victorian Government of Sir Thomas Bent approved an application by Mr Morgan to build a tramway system in the Essendon area on 29 Marchwith a poll of ratepayers overwhelming supporting the proposition on 29 July votes to Mr Morgan transferred the concession to the NMELT, which had been formed to build the system and provide electricity to the area. Under the concession the NMELT was to construct a tramway and provide electricity within the municipalities of Essendon and Flemington for 30 years, it also mandated a service at least every 20 minutes and had provisions for the undertaking to become property of the municipalities involved earlier than the prescribed 30 years. Councillor Alex Cameron of Malvern, who led the push for a municipal tramway service, was elected chairman of the trust by both Malvern and Prahran councils. Construction began on its first tram line in with the first The Melbourne Tram Book service commencing on 30 May Using overhead wires to feed electricity to the trams, the network continued to expand greatly and profitably. In Camberwell The Melbourne Tram Book representatives were also included. Byall cable and horse tram lines had been abandoned or converted to either electric tram or bus operation. Alex Cameron was its full-time chairman. Under Cameron, the MMTB brought these systems under its control, extending the electric lines, and The Melbourne Tram Book the existing cable-system to electric traction. In March Alex Cameron went overseas to investigate traffic problems. He returned next year confirmed in his long-held opinions that electric trams were superior to buses and that overhead wires were preferable to the underground conduit cable system. Alex Cameron remained chairman there until He died a few years later inthe same year the last of the cable tram services in Melbourne ended. However, in Melbourne, the Bourke Street buses were replaced by trams inand new lines opened to East Preston and Brunswick East. Melbourne's tram usage peaked at million trips inbefore dropping sharply to million the following The Melbourne Tram Book in By the s Melbourne was the only Australian city The Melbourne Tram Book a major tram network. Also, the infrastructure and vehicles were relatively new, having replaced Cable Tram equipment in only the s—s. This destroyed The Melbourne Tram Book argument The Melbourne Tram Book by many other cities, which was that renewal of the tram system would cost more than replacing it with buses. By the mids, as other cities became increasingly choked in traffic and air pollution, Melbourne was convinced that its decision to retain its trams was the correct one, even though patronage had been declining since the s in the face of increasing use of cars and the shift to the outer suburbs, The Melbourne Tram Book the tram network's limits. The first tram line extension in over twenty years took place inalong Burwood Highway. The W-class trams were gradually The Melbourne Tram Book by the new Z-class trams in the s, and by the A-class trams and the larger, articulated B-class trams in the s. Inthe controversial Lonie Report recommended the closure of seven tram lines. Public protests and union action resulted in the closures not being carried out. The MTA was formed to co-ordinate and operate the Melbourne public transport system, during —87 an integration of rail, tram and bus divisions took The Melbourne Tram Book, with the operations, maintenance and administration of these departments fully integrated by 11 April The MTA introduced a new green and yellow livery and uniform design, with a new logo, showing the integration of The Melbourne Tram Book public transport system, replacing the MMTB logo, and introduced a new time-based integrated ticketing system, for all modes of Melbourne's public transport. An The Melbourne Tram Book Vehicle Monitoring system was introduced inimproving communication with drivers and allowing tracking of trams throughout the network. This reduced tram bunching and improved reliability of tram services. The St Kilda and Port Melbourne railway lines were converted to light rail lines inwith the lines closed on 1 July and 11 October respectively. By the late s, the state government was under financial pressures brought on by an economic downturn. In Januarythe Labor government of Premier John Cain tried to introduce economies into the running of the public transport system, including the removal of tram conductors.

  • Growing Patronage - Think Tram?
    GROWING PATRONAGE - THINK TRAM? Dennis Cliche Sam Reid ABSTRACT The emerging congestion crisis in Melbourne is underlined by Melbourne City Council’s recent prediction that visitation to the CBD will increase from current levels of around 690,000 people to one million people per day by 2017. Public transport has been identified as one of the keys to solving the demands of travel to and from the city, and to reducing the impact of traffic congestion. This has created a number of challenges for shaping patronage growth on Melbourne’s public transport network, and for making trams a competitive travel option for commuters - especially when a large proportion of the tram network shares road space with other vehicles and is caught in the congestion. The challenge of growing patronage on public transport not only requires incentives for behavioural change amongst commuters, but also for improvements to the level of service offered through tram speeds and frequency, and better access for mobility impaired passengers. This can be achieved through a program of service and infrastructure investments and by appealing to a concern for wider social responsibility (minimising the impact of car pollution, reducing congestion etc). Indeed, if public transport is to successfully address the broader issues of traffic congestion and city pollution, then it must provide the impetus for commuters to rethink their travel behaviours and create a modal shift. This paper will examine Yarra Trams’ approach to growing patronage on a tram system that shares its road space with other vehicles, and also discuss how the Think Tram program provides the foundation and the infrastructure to grow patronage by offering a service that delivers opportunities for a more consistent, accessible and efficient alternative to car travel.

    DRAFT 59 Rail Futures Inc THE MELBOURNE RAIL PLAN Moving People in a City of 8 Million 25 May 2019 This paper has been prepared by Rail Futures Incorporated in the public interest. Rail Futures Inc is an independent non-partisan group formed to advocate cost effective rail and intermodal solutions for public transport and freight problems based on sound commercial, economic and social reasoning. Rail Futures members include experienced rail professionals, engineers, planners and economists. Melbourne Rail Plan 2019-2050, May 2019 Version 59 - DRAFT FOR COMMENT Rail Futures Institute 1 Foreword Melbourne once had one of the world’s best public transport systems. The forethought and planning of Victorians more than a century ago, and their capacity to value the welfare of Victorians of the future -us - as highly as their own, helped make Melbourne one of the world’s economically most productive and liveable cities. For the past few generations, myopia, carelessness and excessive valuation of the present over the future have been squandering that wonderful legacy. The economic and social life of this city will be deeply impaired by barriers to movement of people around the city unless chronic underinvestment over recent generations is remedied. The Melbourne Rail Plan 2019-50 demonstrates the way to correct the mistakes of recent generations, and that some contemporary Victorians are up to the challenge. The Report is comprehensive, creative and authoritative. It is an excellent foundation for rebuilding Melbourne to secure its position as one of the world’s most successful cities. Melbourne is growing more rapidly than any other large city in the developed world.

    Press release Paris, 16 February 2016 Clément Michel appointed International Regional Director for Keolis North America Clément Michel has been appointed the new International Regional Director for Keolis North America, effective from 15 February. His priority will be to bolster Keolis’ existing operations in the USA and Canada and lead future expansion in the region across a range of transport modes. Keolis’ North American regional office will move from Washington DC to Boston. Clément Michel has more than 15 years’ experience in passenger transport and network operations. Most recently the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Yarra Trams in Melbourne, Australia, he has expertise in strategy development, business transformation, employee engagement and governance in both private and public sectors. Clément joined the public transport industry in 1999 at SNCF (French National Railways), most notably as Managing Director, from February 2005, of Gare de Lyon in Paris – one of France’s busiest train stations with 100 million passengers per year. By the age of 29, he was responsible for more than 1,000 employees and succeeded in improving punctuality, quality of service and commercial turnover, including during the 2007 Rugby World Cup despite extensive station renovation work occurring at the same time. In November 2009, Clément moved to Melbourne, Australia to commence his role at Yarra Trams as Chief Operating Officer (COO) at the beginning of the new Keolis Downer franchise (in which Keolis has a 51 percent stake).
