Melbourne Tram Route 16

Melbourne Tram Route 16

Tram route 16 is a public transport service in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It runs from the University of Melbourne in the city centre to Kew in the eastern suburbs. It runs through the suburbs of Melbourne, St Kilda, Balaclava, Malvern, and Kew. Like most tram routes in Melbourne, it is entirely within Metlink ticketing Zone 1.

The route is operated by a mix of Z1, Z3, D1 and D2 class trams.

In response to the State Government's 2001 Melbourne 2030 planning policy, the Public Transport Users Association lobbied to extend route 16 to Kew Junction, so far without success.
