But I bet handling the bags doesn't come for free.
It did for me . Others may tip the odd dollar. Bags go into a luggage compartment, not racks.

I just missed a 901 bus that was 5 minutes early
Ridiculous that they will leave early and not wait for connecting trains.
But having missed it I probably would have called an Uber

I have had to stand on SkyBus once - unpleasant.
Just on that last bit - I had to wait for the next Skybus as the one I wanted to get on was "full", though nobody was standing. I was in a hurry and said I'd be happy to stand if it meant I could get on that bus. Was told that it "wasn't allowed". Perhaps that's a new rule.
LOL. Sounds like my experiences with public transport. Miss a bus/train that comes early and the next onesis almost always late.I had some time to spare on the way back to the airport, so thought I would take the train out to Broadmeadows and then the 901 bus. On the plus side, it cost under $4 with a myki card. However, on Saturdays the buses only run at 30 minute intervals, and even then the schedules seem unreliable. I just missed a 901 bus that was 5 minutes early, then the next bus was 25 minutes late... meaning I spent about an hour waiting in the cold for the bus at Broadmeadows! Overall it took nearly 2 hours to get to MEL. (Lucky I'd allowed spare time...)
The verdict? I would probably just take the Skybus next time, especially if in a hurry. Although I do believe bus frequencies during the week are better than on the weekend.

Unfortunately this 'more search options' tab is in a very small font - hardly ideal given the huge growth in Australians over 50, many of whom have or are starting to have macular degeneration.
.Everyone should get on this. I would love to see the $4 option become the norm and make Skybus a little less complacent.
and be able to travel on a tram in the Melbourne CBD to get to their hotel for free
Bus was already there - I boarded and waited. The driver was looking at his watch regularly, then three minutes before scheduled departure he took off. If I'd have missed by being two minutes early I would have been <rather annoyed>.
