It had to be late 1980s. The Met was merged with State Transport Authority (V/Line) to form Public Transport Corporation in 1989.
The Met branding was around through to the Late 90’s…
There were slight variation to The Met branding itself. During the late 80s, The Met had a full stop after the letter t, and “an authority of Victoria Transport” underneath it as shown in the clip above. After the merger with V/Line, both the full stop and subheading were dropped.

i did some more reaserch and it seems this advert is from approx 1988 or so
This ad was from the early 2000s (I believe) and still ran for over 15 years, at least in Canberra. While this version appears to be from Orange, I believe the Canberra one had a longer scroll that slightly “squished” the footage for the majority of the ad until the “menu booklet” closed with location information added.

Now sadly closed of course. It was good.
I remember going to Pancakes on the Rocks shortly after it opened in 1975, and I have gone back sporadically over the years. Found an ad on YouTube:
The food featured in that ad looked absolutely disgusting, hopefully the taste was much nicer…

That was considered fine dining in the 1970s.

Never mind, found that one on YouTube:
The ad at 4:44 for a ‘stitch-ems’ tie-in for Vita-Brits and Krispies cereals features some frankly obscene themes for the time this aired in 1977 - showing “this way up [featuring a graphic of the finger]”, “bite it [my ass]”, “have you ever [had sex]”, an alluring, clearly deliberate shot of a girl’s midriff while she’s putting a top on, almost exposing her breasts. It looks like they’re advertising to teenagers - they almost certainly couldn’t get away with the same thing today.

This ad (originally produced for Mitre 10 by a Queensland advertising agency) was licensed to a hardware store chain in the USA…and some of the stores still use it today!
