Melburnians were left shaking their heads at a group of 'eshays' who risked their lives by jumping on the back of a tram 'for fun'.

A video shared on Sunday shows three boys jumped onto the back of the moving route 19 tram headed to Coburg North from Elizabeth Street, in the CBD.

Commenters were shocked by their stunt with many noting the tram was in a free-ride zone, meaning they weren't trying to avoid paying a fare but were thrill-seeking.

'Not a single functioning brain cell between them,' one wrote.

'What a strange way to declare you want to be an organ donor,' another said.

'Free tram zone, suckers. Doing it for fun, not profit,' another wrote.

'I've seen this on Elizabeth St just two weeks ago. Stupid kids were crossing the road without looking, tram dings them and they punch and kick the tram, then mount the back of it. Teen violence is out of control,' a fourth commenter wrote.

'Friend of mine broke his wrist doing this. Personally I’m happy to just pay the fare,' another said. 

It comes less than a year after two men were filmed jumping onto the back of a tram in St Kilda in March, 2023.

Yarra Trams slammed the act as 'dangerous and foolish'. 

Adults caught tram surfing can be fined up to $462 and while child face $92 fines. 

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Public Transport Victoria for comment.
