About this route

Tullamarine is the main airport for Melbourne; most drivers take CityLink unless you ask to avoid the toll. Standard VIC rank-and-hail rules apply between Richmond and Melbourne Airport: the driver must run the meter unless a regulated fixed fare is explicitly in effect (so the A$73.37 midpoint above is a maximum, not a quote). The figures here mirror the regulated maximum from Commercial Passenger Vehicles Victoria (CPVV) — drivers may charge less than the A$73.37 typical between Richmond and Melbourne Airport, never more.
