An Avalon trip to Melbourne is long enough that the meter spends most of it in the distance rate rather than waiting time — traffic matters less here than on a Tullamarine run. On a 66.1 km run like Southern Cross Station → Avalon Airport, the gap between quiet-road and peak-hour timing is the largest single variable — the distance is fixed, the waiting time is not, which is why A$156.33 is a midpoint rather than a quote. All fares quoted track the official schedule published by Commercial Passenger Vehicles Victoria (CPVV); the day-rate midpoint from Southern Cross Station sits at A$156.33.
