JAG Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I will be flying into Melbourne on Tuesday morning and need to grab a taxi from the airport to the show grounds. Can anyone give me an idea of cost and time please? Or do they have a bus that will go there? Thank you. JAG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 there is a bus from the airport to the main train station, Southern Cross, then train to the showgrounds. Not sure on costs or time but will be way cheaper than a taxi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tambaqui Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Also to add to the others, it's called skybus, It's the red bus and stops outside Virgin and Quantas terminal and runs every 15 mins and gets to southern within 15 to 20 mins. Return fares is $26 according to website here: http://www.skybus.com.au/ I would recommend it as I have used it 3 times in the past 2 years! Hope that helps!

Evolving Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 A taxi ride will probably take between 20-30 minutes depending on what time you are arriving in the morning, I have no idea what that adds upto in a fare though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in the SE suburbs, much closer to the airport than KCC and it costs me at least $50 each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAG Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 I am arriving at 7.30am so I guess I will hit peak hour also I like the idea of the shuttle but wonder how long it will take to get into the city and then to the train and the show grounds..... I have a bitch entered but she is already down there and will be taken to the grounds (relief) so it is just up to me to find my way. Maybe I will just have to suck it up and pay for a taxi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miranda Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I'm pretty sure that the Showgrounds trains don't start running until 8.30am and they then leave every 15 minutes, the actual train journey only takes about 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
