Taxi

A taxi from the city to the University of Melbourne will cost around AU$8.00. Melbourne taxis are numerous and easy to spot – they are all uniformly yellow. Taxis often wait in designated ranks that are clearly signposted at central locations like major hotels in the CBD and hubs such as Flinders Street Station. It is also possible to hail a taxi in the street if the rooftop light is illuminated, or book by telephone on 131 008 or 132 227.

Bikes

Melbourne has good bike commuting infrastructure, and there is a bike path along the Yarra river that runs beside Federation Square. Federation Square has ample bike parking.
