List of bus routes in Melbourne

This is a list of bus routes that are part of the bus network, in Melbourne, Australia. They are organized by route number and by bus company.

Transdev operate approximately 30% of the bus network, signing contracts in 2013 as part of the Melbourne Metropolitan Bus Franchise. The remaining 70% of the network is operated under 29 contracts with private operators, all of these contracts were entered into on 1 July 2008 and will expire in 2018.

Route numbering scheme

The route number of buses in Melbourne can tell a little about the route's operator, area served and even its history.

Route numbering was a reflection of the designated zonal area used during the 1980s. Areas were referred to as "Neighbourhood Zones". However, as part of the "Grow or Go" policies, route numbers across the bus network were affected. There are no two-digit route numbers – these are used exclusively by trams.

• 150–199, 400–899: These routes are run by private companies. Most are found in the middle and outer suburbs, where they provide feeders to railway stations and provide local travel.

• 200–399: These routes were former government-run routes (Melbourne and Metropolitan Tramways Board and then MetBus). They are found mostly in inner suburbs such as Footscray/Sunshine, Elsternwick-Brighton, Clifton Hill and Port Melbourne. Routes in the Doncaster/Templestowe area also have these numbers due to a Tramways board takeover after the area's private operator collapsed. In the 1990s all MetBus routes were put out to private franchise. Until August 2013, these services were operated by Melbourne Bus Link and National Bus Company. All of these services have now been acquired by Transdev Melbourne

• 900 series: Historically these route numbers were used by Victorian Railways, who ran buses co-ordinated with trains on some routes. Routes with these numbers have either been abolished or incorporated into other routes. The 900 series is now used for the high frequency SmartBus services, which are mostly cross-town and orbital routes.

NightRider

The Nightrider Bus Service runs after midnight until 4.30 am Fridays, 5:30 am Saturdays from central Melbourne to the outer suburbs. This service operates on weekends only.

Return services also operate to the city. After a Nightrider service revision in late 2008, doubled services are now taking place (instead of 1 hr frequencies, it is now 30 mins per bus), bus route operators have been reallocated and more minor improvements have affected the system.
