Find your replacement bus

Use the Busminder link or DM us at @yarratrams ('X' social media channel or Facebook) for assistance, during the disruption to find your replacement bus. 

During these works tram replacement buses will travel in the opposite direction to usual tram services; this is due to the Maribyrnong Bridge closure. 

Check signage at the stop and scan the QR code for the Busminder link to track your replacement bus.

Tram replacement buses will service temporary bus stops or existing PTV bus stops where possible and will run to a normal frequency during works. 

Buses will travel northbound towards Highpoint and southbound towards Moonee Ponds via Footscray, detouring around the work zone.
