Transport & Vehicles in Lysterfield
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Very few people in Lysterfield go without a car, making it one of the areas with the lowest rate of vehicle-free homes. Most households own multiple vehicles, while a quarter of the workforce now works from home. This heavy reliance on private transport is reflected in the very low number of people who use public transit for their daily commute.

Almost every home here owns a car, with only 0.9% having none, a figure well below the 7.6% seen across Victoria. Most households are well-equipped, as 84.1% of homes own two or more motor vehicles.
