Most public transport operators in Victoria are members of the Public Transport Ombudsman Scheme, which means that we can look at complaints about them. They include bus, train and tram operators, Public Transport Victoria (PTV) and operators involved in public transport construction and land. See below for a list of operators who are members of the Public Transport Scheme and their contact details.
Speaking directly with an operator is often the quickest and easiest way to resolve a complaint.
Complaining to an operator
When making a complaint to an operator, we suggest you be clear about what went wrong and what you would like them to do to resolve your complaint. The operator should acknowledge that they have received your complaint.
Allow the operator enough time to look at your complaint and respond to you. The time can vary according to how complex or serious your complaint is, but in most cases the operator should be able to respond to you within seven business days.
If you are not happy with the operator’s response, or they do not respond to you within a reasonable time, you can lodge a complaint with us.
