"The “Eastern Express” service, launching on 31 August, will connect the airport with Box Hill Central via Watsonia and Doncaster, while the “Sunshine Express” starting 9 November will connect the airport directly with Brimbank for the first time."

However, according to the SkyBus site SkyBus - New SkyBus services for Melbourne’s East and West the Sunshine Express will drop off and pick up at T4, but will only pick up at T1.

Nothing like unnecessarily walking a couple of hundred metres with luggage. Especially in the rain and or heat.

Part of the walk involves cresting a gradient.

Not an issue for me, but those with less mobility may find it adds to the challenge. T1 is more than a 'couple of hundred metres' from the T4 SkyBus stop.

This bus company couldn't care less about passengers. Its fares are so high that from many inner suburbs, it's cheaper to use an Uber if a couple is travelling to/from the airport, let alone parents with two kids. (Lack of luggage space may be problematical though).
