Freq

Note
PTV route 901 SmartBus from Melbourne Airport to Broadmeadows Station, then suburban trains to the City Loop/Flinders Street; useful as a cheaper Myki-option into central Melbourne but slower and requires a transfer. Services run daily with typical SmartBus frequencies, and standard Myki fares apply.
