How to get from Airport to anywhere in Melbourne and its suberbs

Amitabh has asked the following question:

Another useful piece of info would be how to get to the city/some suburb from Melbourne airport using public transport.. Apparently the public transport connections from the airport are very bad in Melbourne, so this info would be useful to almost anyone.I tried once.. took me 2 hrs 20 mins to get from Airport to Fairfield using a combination of bus/train/train/bus

My answer to him was:

Airport to Melbourne Suburbs

This would be open question, there are factors what decides how you want to do it ?

1. How much money are you willing to spend ?
2. how far away is the place you want to go to ?
3. What time of the day are you landing ?

If you want to go to city which is the hub for going anywhere... cheapest is to take the Airport shuttle service from SKYBUS.. It charges $15 one way to take you to Spencer Street Station. It's service is every 15 minutes from the Airport.Same way as SKYBUS there are other shuttle or pick-up services which can be used if you do not want to get a CAB.

One Example of such services is AIRPORT BUS. More information can be found at http://www.fapas.com.au/fares

Would Tata Sky work in Australia ?

So far (at least when I am writing this) to my understaning TataSky could not work in Australia. How do I know ? Its actually pretty simple with the help of few web sites from the same provider. Step 1 : Find out the provider in our case its Tata Sky Step 2: Find out which satellites it use? http://www.lyngsat-address.com/tt/Tata-Sky.html http://www.lyngsat.com/Insat-4A.html Step 3: Now we know that Tata Sky uses Insat 4A for its transmission. Its time to find out footprints of this sattalite. Use the following link: http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/maps/in4a_ecc.html Step 4: In the footprints screen we could see that this particular satalite does not have footprints on Australia so we could not watch TataSky, UNLESS in future Tata Sky also broadcast on another satalite which has footprints in Australia (expecially the region you are in)
