A suburb like no other in Melbourne.
Clayton is built around Monash University’s main campus — Victoria’s largest, with around 50,000 students — and it’s often called Australia’s most diverse suburb, home to people from 112 countries. The median age is just 28. It carries one of the state’s great hospitals, the densest high-tech research cluster in Victoria, and the much-loved Clayton Road food strip.
It’s a place in constant motion — students arriving and flying home, patients and families coming to the hospitals, researchers and staff filling the precinct. That motion is exactly what ME CABS is built for: the calm, fixed-fare ride through all of it.

the Victorian Heart Hospital opened
Clayton has a train. The 50,000-student campus doesn’t.
Clayton station sits on the Clayton Road strip — handy, about 30 minutes to the city. But the biggest trip generator in the suburb, Monash University, has no station of its own: tens of thousands reach the campus by bus. The Suburban Rail Loop will add a Monash station — but not until 2035.
The airport run
A student flying home with a year's luggage, or a family arriving at dawn. No train does that.
The hospital trip
To Monash Medical Centre or the Heart Hospital, on time and door to door.
Move-in & move-out day
The late night home, the group of five — car-only, every time.

Clayton → MEL
Flying home with a year’s luggage? We meet you, track the flight, fixed fare set before you fly.
The run that matters most in Clayton.
Roughly 42 km and 40–45 minutes off-peak via the Monash Freeway and CityLink to Tullamarine. This is the Clayton run we’re known for: the student flying home at semester’s end, the family arriving to visit, the international student landing for the first time. We watch your flight, build in a buffer, and set your fixed fare before you book — no early-morning surge. Avalon (AVV) too.

Monash University & the world in one suburb.
The campus with no station — and the airport run
Monash’s Clayton campus is Victoria’s largest, with around 50,000 students — and no train station until the Suburban Rail Loop arrives in 2035. That makes ME CABS the natural choice for the trips the campus shuttle can’t do: the 4am airport run at semester’s end, the international student landing with a year’s luggage, parents visiting from overseas, move-in and move-out day, and the safe late ride home.
Clayton Road & the most diverse suburb in Australia
Clayton wears its diversity on Clayton Road — a strip of 200-plus businesses, dumpling kitchens, pho, curries, bubble tea, Asian and Indian grocers, the Fresh Fruit Market — the everyday hub of a suburb drawing on 112 countries. ME CABS runs it all: a group out for dinner, a late ride home, a trip across to Chadstone or IKEA, on a fixed fare door to door.
A health precinct people travel to — right here.
Monash Medical Centre on Clayton Road is one of Victoria’s major hospitals — home to the state’s busiest emergency department. On the Monash campus sits the Victorian Heart Hospital (2023), Australia’s first dedicated cardiac hospital, with Jessie McPherson Private and Monash Children’s close by. Getting to and from hospital removes the two hardest parts — timing and uncertainty.
ME CABS provides non-emergency patient and visitor transport — for emergencies always call 000.
Appointments & day surgery
On time, dropped at the right entrance.
Discharge
A reliable ride home when you can't drive after a procedure.
Visiting family
In and home again without the parking and the long walk.
Accessible vehicles
On request, for those who need them.
The densest high-tech cluster in Victoria.
Clayton holds the greatest concentration of high-technology industry in the state — the Australian Synchrotron, CSIRO, the Moderna manufacturing site, the Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication and the Monash STRIP research park, alongside the university’s research institutes. ME CABS is built for it: Cabcharge accepted on every trip, alongside card and cash, on a fixed fare shown before you book — plus airport runs and client, visitor and staff movements booked ahead, door to door.

When getting there matters, the difference shows.
| When you want… | ME CABS | Rideshare app | Hail / rank taxi |
|---|---|---|---|
| A price you can trust | Fixed, shown before booking | Surges without warning | Metered — unknown till arrival |
| A car that turns up at 4am | Booked & assigned ahead | Depends who's online | Pot luck at the rank |
| Cabcharge accepted | Yes | No | Sometimes |
| A clean hybrid / EV | ~90% of the fleet | Whatever arrives | Whatever arrives |
| Maxi / group & mobility | Booked to suit | Limited | Limited |
The contrast is booked-driver certainty: a confirmed driver at a price locked before you travel, the runs others decline, Cabcharge handled properly — and a booking you can actually see and change afterwards.
Clayton, and the busiest corner of Monash.
Clayton is our busiest anchor in Monash, and we run the same fixed-fare service across the surrounding suburbs. It sits in the City of Monash — see the hub and the sibling suburb pages as they roll out.

Our fleet — about 9 in 10 hybrid & electric
Primarily Tesla and Lexus hybrids — cleaner, quieter and more comfortable than an older cab — plus wheelchair-accessible and mobility vehicles on request. A greener ride that doesn’t cost you certainty.
Greener than it looks.
Clayton is greener than it looks — the Monash campus alone holds over 2,000 species of plant life, with Karkarook Park’s wetlands just south. Our fleet fits that: about 90% hybrid and electric, so the standard ride is simply the cleaner, quieter one. No badge, no lecture — just the default.
A number, not a slogan — run your trip and see the real estimated emissions for a hybrid versus an older cab.
