Do I pay $41.20 plus $11 tram fare return to the airport, at the mercy of timetables especially for the return leg when my flight arrives past 10pm… or $84 plus a bit in petrol to drive and park over 7 days without worrying about times. I think the latter is winning out and would be cheaper than uber too. So it shall be.
I spent nearly all of today in bed drifting in and out of sleep and wandering through various YouTube videos and wiki articles. It was nice enough in some ways to do nothing and rest but I felt kind of gross by the evening and haven’t drunk nearly enough water. Feeling rather meh about doing one day of work tomorrow before heading off again but I’ll just start early and end early as much as I can and keep it simple…
Shared not to be smug, but to reinforce what is possible if a state government spends money on infrastructure. This line is new, it was completed two years ago. It tunnels a few kilometers under the river and established suburbs.
Melbourne can have this, too. The technology is easy enough. Yes, it is expensive.
Edit: Updated with car directions also, showing the train is the quickest way.
Oh we spend money on infra. We built a whole new metro tunnel! But putting fences around the lines to stop major disruptions? No can do bro.
Also the leaser of the the CROWN LAND of the airport wants to screw the taxpayer, and apparently we’re just letting that happen like a bunch of suckers.

the fact that the sky bus is as expensive as it is just blows my mind.

It has been written. And so it is.
I think you mean “this is the way”.
I’d pay the $84 tbh
