Got you coming and going

If you come to Melbourne bring money. Not to spend enjoying yourself
mind. You need it to pay the extortionate taxi fares to the city from
the airport ($64 for me which is almost certainly a rip off job) and
you'll need more for the tolls to use the roads to get back to the
airport. As far as I can tell there is no simple way to get from the
city to Tullamarine without going on a toll road. There are certainly
no signs with little planes on them to tell you how to get there
without going on a toll road. And it's not cheap. Especially as the
machines at the airport where you pay your fee have absolutely no
explaination of which one of the many options you need to buy. So I
expect everyone ends up paying $12 no matter how many bits of road
they've used. Isn't that a nice little earner for the private company
that owns the roads? I really hate private forms owning public
infrastructure as it means the poor old taxpayer ends up paying for
services twice. Once when the government subsidizes the building costs
(which they always end up doing, usually to prevent a project failing
and making politicians look like dicks) and again for the next thirty
years when they pay to use the facility. Why do people put up with it?
I say don't use the bloody things and let macquarie bank suffer.

That is if you can find an alternate route.
