MELBOURNE  387

Getting Around
Despite the comprehensive Metro transport system of trams, trains
and buses, many Melburnians use cars for commuting (see pp416–17).
This has resulted in a network of major roads and highways that lead
in all directions from Melbourne’s central grid through inner and outer
suburbs. CityLink is a tollway linking several of the major access routes;
drivers must purchase a pass prior to travelling on or within three days of
using CityLink roads. The city’s flat landscape is also well suited to bicycles.
