Public transport for events

The Metro Tunnel opens up new ways to get to events across Melbourne.


If you're travelling to a Victorian event, public transport can help you get there. 

We run extra public transport services to support travellers heading to major events. 

The Metro Tunnel offers new ways to get to your favourite sporting events and concerts at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Marvel Stadium and the Melbourne and Olympic Park precinct.

If you travel on the Cranbourne, Pakenham and Sunbury Line, which goes through the Metro Tunnel, you have new choices on how to get to your event destination.

We also run extra public transport services to support travellers heading to major events across the state.

Pick an event below to find simple public transport tips to get you there and back.
