Mobility aid access
Public transport services in Victoria are progressively being made accessible to people with disabilities, to comply with the provisions of the Commonwealth Government’s Disability Discrimination Act (1992) and the Victorian Government’s Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport (2002).
All metropolitan and most V/Line trains are wheelchair accessible, along with most metropolitan and V/Line stations.
New trams and buses are being delivered with low floors for easy access, while an increasing number of tram stops in the Melbourne CBD and elsewhere on the tram network are being made into accessible stops.
Passengers who use mobility aids (wheelchairs, scooters or motorised vehicles) should be aware of the specifications of the space allocated in public transport vehicles when considering their choice of mobility aid and when planning public transport trips in Victoria.
