Choosing Your Chariot: A Guide to Melbourne's Public Transport Options
The Train: Melbourne's trusty steed, the train is a reliable and relatively speedy option. From Flinders Street Station, hop on a Pakenham or Frankston line train and disembark at the glorious South Yarra station. It's a short walk from there, so lace up your walking shoes and get ready to strut your academic stuff.
The Tram: Feeling a touch fancy? Trams are a great way to see the sights (and avoid the occasional tram existential crisis) while en route to Melbourne High. Just make sure you grab the number 78 tram, otherwise you might end up at the zoo instead (which, to be fair, could be a fun Friday afternoon).
The Bus: Buses are a solid choice, especially if you live a bit further out. Keep an eye out for the 246, 603, or 605 routes – any of those will get you close enough to Melbourne High that you can smell the textbooks (or maybe that's just the nearby cafes).
Tip: A slow, careful read can save re-reading later.
BYOB (Bring Your Own Bike): If you're feeling particularly energetic (or just hate waiting for public transport), cycling is always an option. There are bike lanes aplenty in Melbourne, and Melbourne High even has its own bike racks! Just remember, Melbourne weather can be a fickle beast, so pack a raincoat – or, you know, just don't cycle when it's raining cats and dogs.
On Foot (Because Why Not?): Feeling like a true Melbournian adventurer? Lace up your walking shoes and get ready to explore! It's a decent walk from the city center, but hey, it's a great way to get some exercise and a chance to discover hidden laneways and cool cafes.
Important Note: This guide is strictly for informational purposes only. Getting lost is a rite of passage for any Melbournian student, so embrace the adventure (and maybe pack a phone charger, just in case).
Tip: Take a sip of water, then continue fresh.

How much does public transport cost?
Tip: Skim only after you’ve read fully once.
My friend, that's a question for the ages (or at least the Myki website). Fares depend on the distance you travel and your Myki concession status, but it's generally pretty affordable.
What if I get lost?
Don't panic! Most Melbournians are friendly and happy to point you in the right direction. You can also ask a tram driver or train conductor for help.
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
What if I'm running late?
We've all been there. Just try to stay calm, explain to your teacher (they've seen it all!), and maybe offer to bring extra donuts for the class.
Is there a secret handshake to get into Melbourne High?
Sadly, no secret handshake (although that would be pretty cool). Just your acceptance letter and a thirst for knowledge will do!
