Melbourne Tram Route 72
Tram route 72 is a public transport service in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It runs from the University of Melbourne in the city centre to Camberwell in the eastern suburbs. It runs through the suburbs of Melbourne, South Yarra, Toorak, Malvern, Glen Iris, and Camberwell. Like most tram routes in Melbourne, it is entirely within Metlink ticketing Zone 1.
Route 72 was originally known as route 7. When its base of operations was moved from Malvern depot to Camberwell depot for a short period, it became route 72 in keeping with that depot's numbering scheme (routes 70 and 75 being the other routes based at Camberwell depot). The route was subsequently returned to Malvern depot, yet kept its new number as the route 7 designation had been given to a shortened version of route 6 (also based at Malvern depot).
In response to the State Government's 2001 Melbourne 2030 planning policy, the Public Transport Users Association lobbied to extend route 72 north to Doncaster Road, and onto Ivanhoe railway station, and south to Caulfield.

Famous quotes containing the word route:
“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
