A rail line from Melbourne airport to the CBD will very likely be necessary one day, but an upgraded SkyBus can do the job in the short-to-medium term at vastly lower cost
There needs to be a clear and focused justification for spending billions of dollars on building a rail line from the CBD to Melbourne Airport
The fare travellers will pay - whether less than $5 or more than $25 - is a key issue in planning for a mass transit connection between Melbourne Airport and the city centre
One of the key issues that needs to be worked through in planning mass transit access to airports is integration with the existing rail network
