Sky Bus was a great economical way to transfer from the airport into the city where we were staying. The regularity of the service meant no waiting. The bus was almost full, but we would have only had 15 minutes wait for the next one if needed. It was easy to self stow our luggage in the bus. Thanks for a hassle free transfer.

Arriving the attendant was rude & unhelpful when I had a heavy bag. Flippantly told me to board on the rear door & place my luggage on the racks & to hurry up. QR code in the app isn't the qr needed to board. You need to access a PDF to gain access, support staff were rude & unhelpful. Upon return, the driver from southern cross Natalie was extremely rude, unhelpful and dismissive when I had yet again the wrong QR, drove extremely rough.

The Skybus is absolutely the easiest way to get into Melbourne. Always on time and right at the doorstep when leaving Melbourne Airport. It took me less than 45minutes to land, get off the plane and walk from Southern Cross Station into the beautiful city of Melbourne.

Everything was SO easy and straightforward. We had tried ordering an uber and spent 25mins messing about before we gave up. This got us to town for a fraction of the cost, we were on a bus within 2mins of deciding to give it a go and it was a fast, easy, smooth process that left us knowing that with the frequency of services and ease of booking / use, we'll be using it next time for sure.

While an airport transfer may not be the most exciting component of a holiday it is an important one for setting the stage in providing a positive introduction to a new city. As the options from Tullamarine airport are limited to road it is important that the Skybus provides a quality service which I am pleased to experience it did. The staff were efficient and friendly, providing helpful instructions and the driver delivered us in a timely manner. A very recommendable service.

Transfer / ride was absolutely fine, but I hated that I had to download an app to retrieve my ticket. Please look into updating your processes to simply email a ticket to the customer instead of requiring an app. App should be optional.

The skybus was so easy to use, we booked our ticket online at the airport in sydney before we left and literally when we walked out of the airport in melbourne, the busses were right there waiting for us. The bus ride was smooth comfortable and had free wifi. Before we knew it we were in melbourne cbd within moments walk of trams busses and trains. Highly reccomend and will definitely use again.

We are seniors. I booked with two standard return tickets with Headout not realising this service has a senior concession. From what I can see, this is available on the Skybus website but not through Headout. So, in future will book directly with Skybus and save $8 on a return tickets.

The bus was on time, ran efficently despite Melbourne traffic, and the driver drove safely without harsh acceleration and braking which often defines driving in heavy city traffic. The staff were helpful and the bus was clean inside and out.

It was so straightforward and everyone were so helpful. I love that you had the kiosks out there - but a small suggestion. If you purchase tix online it advises to go to Tix counter 10 mins before the journey - no need because it was so seamless.

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.

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.

Booking tickets was easy & the pier for departure was easy to find. The cruise was well organised & left on time. We enjoyed the experience immensely, although we had to move seats to avoid two neighbouring couples who were oblivious to us & speaking to each other at the tops of their voices. It was during the Aust Open season & being a warm day, the boat had quite a few tourists on board . The downside to this was that the commentary was almost inaudible. However this cruise along the Yarra to Williamstown is an awesome way to see the many beautiful office & apartment buildings & linear parklands lining the river at Southbank, Docklands, Fishermens' Bend & Williamstown. Just a fantastic way to view our beautiful city, river & environs. We intend to do it again oneday.
