Arrived at the airport in Melbourne on 9th November got our luggage and proceded to find a taxi…read more.. Passed a bloke with shuttle written on his Fluro vest and inquired as to the price of a trip to the city.. $17 per person ,..Fantastic.. I forgot the address of the hotel we were staying at .. No trouble for these boys they contacted the hotel chain and found out where we were staying and got us there faster ans cheaper than any taxi .. Better service than any taxi or uber.. So Stream Shuttle is the only way to go Great service and friendly owner /operator .. cannot speak more highly of them they went way beyond what you would expect from a shuttle service .. Nothing but GREAT SERVICE Thankyou for putting us at ease and welcoming us to your wonderful city..

Unlike other operators, we provide a door to door service without having to change vehicles. We take pride in delivering a safe, convenient and affordable airport shuttle service. Our airport shuttle vans can be reserved for one-way or round trip transportation on our secure online reservation system from anywhere in the world.

Nice service, been using these guys couple of times in melbourne and so far they have been…read moreproviding a high standard thats hard to beat. They needs more cars though as you might have to wait a bit depending on where you are getting picked up from, might have to prebook as i think they are still only a small company. They are an excellent option though if you want more out of your taxi ride.

From the owner: Offer exceptional service whether going to the Airport, into the city or just a quick local.read more

Your friend can't drop you off at the airport? That's what happened to me, but he was nice enough…read moreto quickly find an alternative - Star Bus. I had used the other bus service from Southern Cross before, but this one is personalised. It picks you up from your house (as long as you live inner city) and drops you at your terminal for under $20 - awesome. They also depart the airport every 30 minutes to drop passengers back to the CBD or inner suburbs. This is much cheaper than paying for a taxi. It feels similar to taxi sharing, - which happens in many other countries when you fly in to an airport - but with a bit more of a friendly vibe. The only downfall is if you're last to be dropped off and the bus is full - luckily that didn't happen to me. The service is great and when I flew back in I shared a bus with a couple returning from Mauritius and a businessman from Sydney, a fantastic way to travel.

Highly Disappointed. Unfortunatly, my partner and I booked…read morethrough our hotel. They failed to mention the extra charge for extra bags. WARNING, look up terms and conditions. I like to make clear that we are moving. We are flying with extra bags. Secondly, the drive watched us put our bags in and was extremely rude!!! I should have stuck with skybus and lugged our bags on and off. My disappointment is an understatement.

We flew through Melbourne three times on our latest trip to Down Under…read more International arrivals required a little bit of a hike to get to immigration. We were able to use the egate to enter so no more passport stamp. We grabbed our luggage and proceeded through customs. That was the much longer and slower line. Definitely better to declare conservatively (per announcement on our flight) and explain all Yes answers to the agent. To connect to our domestic leg to Hobart we followed the signs to T3 and did the self serve baggage drop like everyone else. Security was next and water was allowed to be carried through. To connect to our international flight to Queenstown in T2 we had to queue to check bags and get our boarding pass since they had to verify our NZETA and return flight. Security screening was quick but a little slower at the egate customs as people fumbled around for their passport (required first step). Some people had to be rerouted to the in person agent when flagged by the egate. After all this, at least there was a good selection of restaurants and shops in each terminal we visited. Prices were roughly just a couple AUD higher than outside the airport so it felt reasonable. Overall good signage and well connected terminals.

Our recent MEL experience included 2 domestic flights, one coming in from Hobart on Virgin…read moreAustralia, and the other flying up to Alice Springs on Quantas. The highlight of these experiences was running into members of Allegaeon at baggage claim. They are an American death metal band from Fort Collins, on tour here I guess. I'm not into that type of music, but one of my step-sons has made some cool art related to that genre. I can't speak for the International side of MEL, but I found Domestic to be "Easy Out/Easy In", even though this is a busy place. It also helps when your tour guide is facilitating baggage check-in and transportation. Security was on our own, but by this time, Gayle and I knew the Australian Rules (everything out of your pocket, plus belt). Signage was good, so there were no problems finding baggage claim or our gate.

Yeah, I'm sure if you live in Melbourne you will be familiar with this station, and with this…read morelocation. I have ended up here a couple of times, namely because it is a major interchange station where you can not only catch the suburban trains but also the V/Line and even the train to Sydney (which runs twice a day, though you can't catch it into Melbourne, which is a shame). Yeah, basically it is one of those places that you should only go to if you really need to go to it.

Set opposite the massive shopping centre, Broadmeadows Train station is a gateway for those in the…read morenorth. Serviced by both the Craigieburn and Broadmeadows lines, metro trains operate at least every ten minutes from here during the week; and between 10-15 minutes on weekends making it one of the better stations in regards to frequency. The other great thing about this station is that V Line trains run through, and stop here. So if you're coming to Melbourne from the country and would prefer to hop off before you get to Southern Cross, Broady's your port of call. My sister comes from North Vic regularly to visit me on the train, and it's so much easier to meet her and drop her off at Broady from my place not even 15 minutes down the road. However, Broadmeadows is well known for its high crime rates and youth unemployment, making the train station a popular hangout for unsavoury types. Because of this I always feel a little uneasy, but if you plan you're travel for during the day and try to get there so you don't have to wait around too long, it's not so bad. Being a premium station Broadmeadows is manned through the Metro and V Line ticketing office so there is a good sense of security whilst the office is open.
