Safe City taxi ranks

The Safe City Taxi Rank Scheme aims to address concerns about getting home safely late at night.

Safe City taxi ranks, managed by the City of Melbourne, provide a safer environment for passengers waiting for a taxi and for taxi drivers waiting for passengers. 

As part of our commitment to city safety, the council is introducing more Safe City taxi ranks to help late night patrons get to their destinations as quickly and safely as possible.

Safe City Taxi Ranks are located in improved popular pedestrian routes with lighting and signage and Safe City security cameras. They can be found in four locations:

  • 55 King Street
  • Flinders Street Station, Swanston Street
  • 50 Bourke Street (near Spring Street)
  • 190 Bourke Street (near Russell Street)

Each taxi rank is staffed by a security officer in a distinct uniform. The ranks are also monitored by security cameras:

  • from 11pm Friday to 5am Saturday
  • from 11pm Saturday to 5am Sunday every weekend
  • during special events such as the Melbourne Grand Prix and New Year’s Eve.
