How much does it cost to travel by train in Melbourne?
What would a weekly, monthly or yearly rail ticket cost for, say, Frankston to the CBD or Mordialloc to the CBD. Can't seem to find the right web-site where these fares are posted.

It's cheap - about £80-90 per month depending on the types of ticket you're buying. Give me a while & I'll dig the link out for you

Frankston and Mordialloc to the CBD are the same price. Daily tickets are $10 return, however if you can travel early and arrive in the CBD by 7am, this reduces to $5 as the inward journey is free. These daily tickets include any travel on any form of public transport all day.
Sundays are $2.70 for unlimited travel.

Best value ,assuming you will be a regular user, are the monthly ($161) or weekly tickets ($47).

Melbourne fares are a total bargain & we can't wait to have a bit of our hard-earned cash in our pockets for a change

I didn't dare want to compare and contrast with London as a) I don't know the cost and b) didn't want to draw fire.

Thanks for all the replies
My current travel costs into London (first class + car park ticket) for 1 month are just over £500. That's half my house rental
Is there a first class on the Frankston/CBD line?

Re: How much does it cost to travel by train in Melbourne?
I found the off peak services attracted all sorts of bogans and characters travelling from Frankston to the city. When we first arrived a guy pulled out a knife on a mid afternoon service which was a little daunting. He was very unstable and decided to befriend me and my hubby.
However this aside it is affordable travel unlike the UK and as a rail worker here in the UK i have brought this to the attention of Networkrail bosses though it fell on deaf ears.
