Airport
Taxis
Melbourne’s taxis are a convenient way to get from the airport to your destination. You can catch a taxi from designated taxi ranks, unless you have pre-booked one. Taxi ranks are located on the ground floor outside Terminals 1 and between Terminal 2 and 3.
Taxi fares vary based on distance, location and time of travel. Additional charges apply on some public holidays, when booking in advance, making an electronic payment, using toll roads, or when your taxi has five or more passengers. For more information visit taxi.vic.gov.au/fares.
The estimated amount to travel from Tullamarine Airport to the CBD is around $50.
Public Transport
To access all forms of public transportation, you will require a Myki. Myki is a universal transportation card (for train, tram, bus), you tap on and tap off when travelling to deduct the fare. With myki you simply ‘touch on’ and ‘touch off’ to pay for your trip. You must ‘touch on’ at the start of your trip or you can be fined.
Myki allows you to store credit for travel days or dollar value on a reusable smart card. You can top up the value of your card at Major train stations, some tram stops, major bus interchanges, by phone and online. You can purchase a Myki card when you visit a major train station for $6. Note that you are a FULL FARE traveller.
