    This doesn’t sound like a problem with PT -per se-, it sounds more like a problem with PT infrastructure Melbourne doesn’t have a train to the Airport either (currently) and all attempts are receiving severe political roadblocks.

    Melbourne does have regular radial public transport to the CBD during peak times and the potential to have regular public transport during regular times.

    Melbourne does need more connective public transport, we do have an adequate bus network, but due to congestion, it is unreliable during peak traffic times. The Suburban Rail Loop (if it gets finished before the next change of government) will be a good start, but more outer suburban lines (Frankston-Dandenong-Ringwood) would also be of benefit.

    Just remember, when you are stuck in traffic, you are the traffic that you are stuck in.

      Yep I rate Melbournes trams quite hard, they helped us out when we were down there for the formula1 twice, we walked 99% of the time except at the end when we were literally too tired to walk anymore!

      Ridiculous!
