Taxi ranks
Safe City taxi ranks have been established in the city centre to give patrons and taxi drivers access to safe transport and fares late at night. The four Safe City taxi ranks are located at:
- 55 King Street
- Flinders Street Station, Swanston 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 and 11pm Saturday to 5am Sunday every weekend, and also during special events such as the Melbourne Grand Prix and New Year's Eve.
