Cheapest Airport to Melbourne City Bus/Train i can get

[mj_fan]

heading overseas on thursday but need to kill 12 hours before heading out. decided to hear to the cbd to kill a few hours but i dont want to use the skybus as it costs an arm and 5 legs.

anyone know a cheaper more cost effective route. traveil time is irrelavant

have the skybus fares changed? they are usually reasonable for the speed that you get in and out

$30 not paying that

you're not going to get a train/taxi cheaper though (No train to airport)

Not many buses go from the airport to anywhere and certainly not to the city; thats what the SkyBus is for.

I'm not sure what a cab ride from the airport to the CBD would set you back but I'd say it would be at least $30 each way and the SkyBus is $26 return.

A bus does operate from the airport to Sunbury but Sunbury is about 45 mins train ride to the CBD. And believe me, people in Melbourne think it's ****ing stupid that there isn't a train line to the airport either.

His RC? Nah.

And yeah, youd think, considering it's all paddocks between the Craigieburn line and the Bendigo line at Sunbury.
