I go to Melbourne monthly for work in the CBD
I’ve paid $130ish a few times but $80 is about the norm.

The new Airport Link should be (re) announced just before the next Victorian election
That will be the 4th or 5th time - nearly as frequent as electrifying the Gawler Line

Is there another major modern city around that hasn't got an airport rail link?

Although it is seemingly embarrassing, I doubt that there's an international airport in the world that you can get out of with such ease.

Beggers belief that we don't have an airport rail here in Melbourne.

By the time we do, I will be pushing up daisy's.
