Melbourne tram route 75 Totally Explained

Everything about Melbourne Tram Route 75 totally explained

Tram route 75 is a public transport service in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is operated by Yarra Trams from the Camberwell Depot and runs from the corner of Spencer Street and La Trobe Street in the city centre to Vermont South in the eastern suburbs.
Unike most tram routes in Melbourne, it isn't entirely within Metcard ticketing Zone 1. The portion of the route between Camberwell Junction (intersection of Riversdale, Camberwell and Burke Roads) and Warrigal Road is a Zone 1 and Zone 2 overlap, and everything East of Warrigal Road is Zone 2 only. A connecting bus, the Knox Transit Link (operated by Ventura Bus Lines using buses from Route 732

), runs to Knox City meeting every tram and also runs within Zone 2. It is planned to further extend the tram line to Knox City Shopping Centre, replacing the bus.
The route runs along Flinders Street in the city, Bridge Road in Richmond, Riversdale Road through Hawthorn, Hawthorn East, Camberwell and Toorak Roads through Camberwell and then along Burwood Highway, past Deakin University, to the terminus in Vermont South. In the late 70s the route was extended from Burke Road to Middleborough Road Burwood East, in the 90s to Blackburn Road, and on July 22nd 2005 to its current terminus. The final three kilometres of track and a new Vermont South Terminus at the shopping centre were added then. From Warrigal Rd to the terminus in Vermont South, the trams have their own lanes/tracks, thereby not interefering with or being interfered by vehicular traffic. Despite this motorists are often still required to turn across the tracks to enter businesses or do U-Turns. This has led to several incidents and accidents.
