Airport line access will also be free, according to the Terrorgraph yesterday and also the Herald.

          Nobody has been able to say yet. John Stanley on 2UE yesterday was wondering
          whether the station access fees are part of the cost to the government.
          
          Since the TVM's at the new stations are configured to issue gate tickets
          (for people with weeklies, travelpasses and Pensioner tickets), it should
          not be too much of a hassle for them to just sell everyone gatepasses.
