When travelling from Melbourne airport transfers from the airport to the city centre, you have three options: a taxi, a public bus, or chauffeur cars Melbourne. The most convenient choice is to take a Melbourne airport taxi to the city centre, which provides door-to-door service in the comfort of a private air-conditioned vehicle. The other less expensive but lengthier option is to take a bus; there are two types of buses to choose from: public buses and airport SkyBus.
By Taxi
If you’re seeking for the quickest and most convenient method to go to the city centre, a Melbourne airport cab is undoubtedly the finest alternative. Taxis provide a convenient, air-conditioned door-to-door service that takes about 30 minutes to reach the city centre. Taxis in Australia are bright yellow and have enormous TAXI rooftop signs, making them easy to spot.
Taxi fare from Melbourne airport to the city centre
Taxis from Melbourne’s Tullamarine airport don’t have a set fare to the city centre; instead, they use a taximeter to compute the distance and time travelled. This means that the ultimate cost will vary depending on where you are in the city, but it should be around €37 ($60 AUD).
TAXI PRICES DAY TIME NIGHT TIME DURATION

However, because taxis are metered, the cost might be extremely high unless you reserve a flat rate Melbourne cab in advance.
By Bus
If you’re on a tight budget, the bus is your best option for getting around. The SkyBus at Melbourne Airport is the preferred bus service because it runs directly from the airport to the city. It is a highly pleasant bus that runs continuously from Terminals 1, 3 and 4 into the city centre. The Melbourne airport bus takes about 30 to 45 minutes to get to Southern Cross Station in Melbourne’s central business district.
With a one-way ticket costing €12 ($19 AUD), taking the SkyBus is clearly the cheapest choice and an excellent transfer method for people travelling on a tight budget. Tickets can be purchased at kiosks near pick-up/drop-off points at the airport or train station, or they can be purchased in advance online.
