Clifton Hill Station. It’d be quicker to ride from Carlton/Melbourne Uni to Clifton Hill Station than travel by train down to Central Station or bus across town, and link to express trains outbound on two lines. Ease city commuting congestion during peak hour as well.

Alexandra Avenue & Chapel Street – as riding along the Yarra is a classic and busy bike route, and morning trains are packed from South Yarra into city.

Smith and Gertrude Streets – as a bike ride from CBD is so much quicker than a tram.
