Public transport on roads

VicRoads and our partners are working to increase the attractiveness of road-based public transport by improving travel times and reliability.

Bus projects – Our bus priority projects make bus travel faster and more reliable.

SmartBus projects – A smarter, premium bus service with extended hours, more services, cross-town travel and better access to connecting transport and public amenities.  

Tram projects – We are working to improve tram routes as part of the Government's Think Tram program. Think Tram aims to reduce travel times, and improve safety and reliability. 

Park and ride – Park and ride allows you to easily park your car and hop on public transport. It makes access to buses and trains simpler, reducing traffic congestion. 

Guidelines for public transport – Our resource kit guidelines help to plan and design projects that improve the priority of road-based public transport. 

Victorian Road Based Public Transport Advisory Council – VRBPTAC advises the Minister for Roads and Ports on road management for buses, trams and taxis. This gives road-based public transport priority with initiatives such as tram and bus lanes.
