At the moment there is a Skybus reaching the Airport in ca. 20 minutes, and leaving Southern Cross every 10 minutes.
This really depends on traffic. In peak periods, can take significantly longer then 20 minutes. Questions have been raised about how the Airport Rail Link can reach the airport in 25 minutes, when it is sharing the line with the Sunbury trains, and it currently takes 20 minutes to reach Sunshine.
What a pity that it is already overcrowded there..
The 109 tram is also overcrowded towards Point Cook. So you could use the same arguments here.
The 109 runs from from Port Melbourne eastwards to Box Hill, not to Point Cook. The Airport Link goes through North Melbourne.
Sorry, meant to say Port Melbourne, not Point Cook. Did I really say that? :-) The current plans are made by aliens, it seems to me.
Unfortunately, they appear have have been made by politicians in an election year. Previously they had long term plans that extend well into the future, while the ordering was controversial, at least they were planning how the changes when interact with future changes. They don't appear to have any of that future planning with these changes. -- Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>
