Transport
Clyde railway station was formerly situated on the South Gippsland railway corridor that operated to its terminus at Yarram in the early 1980s and Leongatha in the mid-1990s. A V/Line road coach service replaced the rail service to Leongatha on 24 July 1993, running between Melbourne and Yarram. However, since the closure of the South Gippsland rail line—with the exception of the locally run tourist railway between Nyora and Leongatha—by the Kennett Victorian government on 14 December 1994. Proposals have been made to extend the existing Cranbourne line to Clyde, however, works are unlikely to commence before 2030.
Along Pattersons Road is the Route 897 bus, which runs to Lynbrook Station via Cranbourne.
The old Clyde township is served by the route 796 loop service which runs from Cranbourne via Devon Meadows.
