tramTracker Online
I never understood Yarra Tram’s tramTracker service. tramTracker is a service in which you send an SMS with your tram stop number and in return you receive real time information on the arrival of the next tram. The problem is that if you are at the tram stop then it doesn’t matter if the tram is coming in 2 or 10 minutes.
Now it appears they have put this service online for everyone to use. Type in your Tracker Stop ID which you can lookup on the site, then select the tram number. The arrival times of the next three trams are displayed. Seems like a great service and will be great on those cold winter days. Now if only they had this on the very unpredictable buses.

I have found tram tracker to be very useful to gauge whether i should run like hell to the tram stop from my home or take it easy.
From my place especially after 7 the trams are not that frequent (half hourly) heading to the city.
