St Kilda Road is Melbourne's busiest tram thoroughfare, with approximately one tram arriving every minute and more than 50 million passenger trips a year on St Kilda Rd-bound trams.
As the spine of Melbourne's tram network, it is vitally important trams can move safely and efficiently through St Kilda Road at all times of the day - which is why we are embarking on this landmark tram strategy.
