Transport is a key attraction: Hughesdale station sits within easy walking distance and ranks 12th of 328 Melbourne suburbs for train‑to‑work usage, with one in six commuters riding the rail, double the city average. The suburb is well served by bus routes 624, 625, 701 and 767, by main roads such as Dandenong, Poath and Railway Parade, and by on‑road and segregated bike paths linking the railway line and nearby parks.
