Conquering CityLink: A Toll Tale Told Without Tears (and Maybe a Few Laughs)
So, you've braved the Melbourne maze on four wheels and emerged victorious... except for one tiny detail: CityLink tolls. Don't worry, these pesky fees won't turn your triumph into a total disaster. Here's your hilarious (and hopefully helpful) guide to conquering CityLink like a champ.
The Pre-Travel Plan: For the Organized Adventurer
Accountability with a Twist: Sign up for a Linkt account [Linkt website]. It's like online banking, but for tolls – way cooler, right? Link your license plate, and tolls are automatically deducted, saving you the frantic scramble later. Think of it as adulting with training wheels.
The Pass Master: Planning a weekend getaway? Grab a trip pass beforehand. These little lifesavers come in various durations, so you can cruise through the tollbooths with a smug grin (because let's face it, paying tolls is rarely grin-worthy).
The "Oops, I Forgot" Chronicles: For the Slightly Scatterbrained Driver
The Invoice Avenger: Didn't plan ahead? No worries! CityLink will send a friendly (or maybe not-so-friendly) invoice your way. Just grab that 11-digit code of fury and head to the Linkt website or app. Payment options include credit card, debit card, or BPAY – basically, anything that'll appease the toll gods.
The Phone Phfriend: Feeling old school? Dial 13 33 31 and a friendly Linkt voice will guide you through the payment maze. Just be prepared for some elevator music while you wait – consider it your toll-paying penalty for procrastination.
Important Note: Don't ignore that invoice! Late fees are a real buzzkill, and nobody enjoys dealing with fines (except maybe that one particularly grumpy meter maid from your childhood).
QuickTip: Stop scrolling if you find value.
