Nearly 10,000 people used Melbourne's public transport during the first weekend of the all-night city services, the Victorian Government says.

The weekend marked the start of the year-long trial, honouring a 2014 election promise.

Victorian Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan said there were three times as many people using trains, trams and buses last weekend compared to Night Rider bus services in October last year.

"The response we had from passengers has been fantastic, we had no incidents or issues reported," she said.

The Government praised transport authorities for the smooth roll-out, which added hourly train services, and half-hour tram service on major lines, as well as the existing Night Rider service.

Ms Allan said passenger numbers were in line with expectations, and were expected to increase once more people know about the 24-hour train service on weekends.

"The first weekend coincided with New Year's Day and obviously being a public holiday, and probably most people would have celebrated their night out on New Year's Eve, we can only expect to see that those numbers increase over the weeks and months ahead," she said.

"In some ways from an operational point of view, it was an ideal start to be able to introduce it in that environment."

The initial commuter numbers did not take into account fare evaders, people within the free tram zone and myki pass holders.

The Government was criticised earlier this week by residents in Melbourne's north, who said train drivers sounding their horns during the overnight services kept them awake last weekend.

Northcote resident Harry Blutstein organised a petition asking the Government to introduce quiet zones, similar to those in the United States.

"They said they'll have a consultation afterwards and they'll get feedback, so for the next 12 months, we've basically got to take it, and then we complain, which is crazy," he said.
