Airport Transport – London, Melbourne, New York
London taxis
Recently I spent ‘60’ for taxis between airport and city in these three cities, US$60 in New York, A$60 (about US$55) in Melbourne and £60 (about US$97) in London. What did I get for my money?
In Melbourne US$55 took me 23km from my home on the far side of the city from the airport on a fast freeway connection. The only alternative is the A$16 Skybus into the city, so between two people that would be A$32 and you could add another A$15 for another taxi to my place. Total about A$50, say US$45.
