PTV bus stops moved to near T1 at Melbourne Airport

In 2025 if you want to catch a regular route bus (eg 478, 479, 500, 901 etc) to Melbourne Airport you must alight in a large covered interchange near Terminal 4. It's a fair hike to other terminals like T1. However this didn't used to be the case. Even regular route buses were nearer most terminals. 

This item is about the stop for Melbourne route buses moving from near T4 to near T1.

It should be noted that this item was before the 478/479/500 network reforms in 2014. Before they happened these routes ran at very irregular times with multi-hour gaps. However the 901 SmartBus was running, having commenced in 2010.
