The Victorian Government has recognised that integrating bicycles with public transport is an integral part of an integrated transport system and has listened to feedback from bicycle riders who use the system.

We would like to congratulate the Minister for Public Transport, Lynne Kosky for her committment to improve the integration of bicycles and public transport.

• From the 15th of February 2008, bicycles will be allowed on all Connex trains at all times, provided they are stored in the area inside the last door of the last carriage to minimise discomfort to other passengers.  Bicycles will also be allowed on all V-line services.
• Metlink, Connex and V-Line will work together to provide clear signage and information to assist bicycle riders and the travelling public to understand where bicycles can be taken on public transport.  
• The State Government will invest $1 million for new bicycle cages for stations throught metropolitan Melbourne and key regional hubs, to encourage more public transport users to combine public transport and cycling.
• From April,  fold up bicycles are able to be used on buses and trams, provided they are folded and contained within a carry bag.
