Was quick and easy didn't have to wait very long. The sign said 7 mins when I got there and the bus was ready and waiting. By the time I retrieved my emailed QR code and the attendant scanned it only had a few minutes before departure. The lady bus driver was very helpful to everyone embarking, directing them where to put their luggage and making sure there was space at each stop. Was smooth sailing to my connection at Southern Cross station considering it would have been around peak hour traffic.

While an airport transfer may not be the most exciting component of a holiday it is an important one for setting the stage in providing a positive introduction to a new city. As the options from Tullamarine airport are limited to road it is important that the Skybus provides a quality service which I am pleased to experience it did. The staff were efficient and friendly, providing helpful instructions and the driver delivered us in a timely manner. A very recommendable service.

The skybus was so easy to use, we booked our ticket online at the airport in sydney before we left and literally when we walked out of the airport in melbourne, the busses were right there waiting for us. The bus ride was smooth comfortable and had free wifi. Before we knew it we were in melbourne cbd within moments walk of trams busses and trains. Highly reccomend and will definitely use again.

    Using the head out app was very useful while travelling, however the wallet function did not work for my phone. Altogether though the app was useful.
