Try Before You Ride Accessibility Day

Yarra Trams has partnered with the AFL to show you how trams can be an easy and accessible way to get to and from the footy.

The Try Before You Ride initiative enables our passengers to be more independent and know that we’re supporting them along the way. Try Before you Ride allows passengers with accessibility concerns to practice boarding and alighting trams in a safe and controlled environment.

Our customer service team will be on-hand to answer questions and share information about the accessible features on our trams and how to plan for an accessible journey to the footy and any event they want to attend.

While you’re here, join us and the AFL for Accessible Footy Day. Footy is for everyone, regardless of age or abilities. You’ll learn more about the AFL’s accessibility features and initiatives, and you can even have a go at wheelchair and blind footy!  More details for the AFL's Inclusivity is on this link
