About this route

Richmond after 10pm on Saturday: the meter steps up to A$81.34, an uplift of A$7.97 on the day-rate equivalent. No toll road sits on the natural route between Melbourne Airport and Richmond, keeping the maths straightforward.
Tullamarine is the main airport for Melbourne; most drivers take CityLink unless you ask to avoid the toll.

Commercial Passenger Vehicles Victoria (CPVV) sets the metered ceiling reflected here — about A$73.37 on the day rate for the trip into Richmond.
