The Drive From Brighton to Tullamarine
From Brighton the usual line is Nepean Highway and St Kilda Road into the city, then CityLink across to the Tullamarine Freeway. Google's fastest route for a weekday at 11am measured 36.2 km and about 45 minutes.
Peak hour stretches this one noticeably. A 7.30am weekday start came out at about 47 minutes, and the trip home from the airport at 5.15pm at about 55 minutes.
The route uses CityLink, so a toll applies and it is already counted in the fare estimate.
