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.

First time user of the Skybus and loved it. No waiting to get on a bus. Arrived quickly at Southern Cross too so I was then able to get a Metro train home without any problems. Getting off was easy even though it was a full bus, there are two lots of stairs to get from the top level. It all moves pretty seamlessly. Will definitely use this again.

    Using Skybus was a seamless transfer between Melbourne airport and Southern Cross station. No worries about traffic jams, just sitting back and enjoying a relaxing ride. Wouldn't want it any other way.

    It's obviously easy to see where to catch a big red bus but more importantly the staff we engaged with were friendly and helpful. Loved the way Alan gently reminded people to take bags off seats to allow other passengers to sit.
