Hazelbrook to Domestic Terminal, $181.50 by taxi vs $17.40 by Rail. And as
quick by rail, on average, in peak hours. And a monster saving for taxpayers
for work travel. Unfortunately I'm the exception to the rule and CabCharge
rules supreme in the Commonwealth Public Service irrespective of the extra
$$$.
I've also noticed an upswing (trying hard to be objective) in passengers
generally bound for the airport by rail and loadings continue to improve,
again from what I observe. 46,000(?) journeys per weekday within 2 years
may not be too far off the mark.
