Which is only fair and reasonable - when you compare the costs of the
alternatives (taxi OR driving and paying for parking OR catching the Airport
Express bus) it is certainly competitive.

The only thing is, what are they going to do with pensioner and travelpass
tickets?

Someone with a Travelpass that is valid in the Botany or Green Square area
is more than entitled to leave the train at these locations - are they to
purchase a ticket to get themselves out?
