Melbourne metro coverage

Melbourne has the second-largest driver network on the platform. The inner city and the 10km ring around the CBD have very good density during business hours — on-demand pickup windows of 20–30 minutes are typical in areas like Fitzroy, Richmond, South Yarra and St Kilda. Outer suburbs (Ringwood, Frankston, Werribee, Craigieburn) have lower driver density and wider pickup windows.

The city is served by four motorway corridors: the M1 south-east (Princes Freeway to Geelong), CityLink and the Eastern Freeway east, the M8 Western Ring Road north, and the Monash Freeway south-east. Drivers use these for outer-suburb routes and for the Tullamarine Airport connection. Inner-city deliveries go through the CBD grid or via the tram-heavy inner roads.

Melbourne traffic patterns

Melbourne's CBD has a congestion zone that slows most vehicle traffic during peak hour. The tram network, bike lanes and high pedestrian traffic on Swanston, Elizabeth and Collins Streets mean that inner-city pickups and deliveries can be slower than GPS estimates. Loading zones exist on most CBD blocks but turnover is fast.

  • CBD and inner suburbs (5km radius): on-demand window 20–30 minutes
  • Middle suburbs (10–20km): on-demand window 30–50 minutes
  • Outer suburbs (20–40km): on-demand window 50–75 minutes
  • Airport and Tullamarine: 25–35 minutes from CBD, note loading access

Top business use cases in Melbourne

Legal (law firms in the CBD, Collins Street precinct), finance, medical (hospitals at Royal Melbourne, St Vincent's, the Alfred), and professional services are the main B2B courier categories. The Richmond and Collingwood creative industry cluster generates significant design and fashion-related courier work. For regular-volume accounts, API integration and scheduled booking are available.
