In addition Momoe, “working from home” frees people from the need to be geographically close to a city office, plus people are going nuts cooped up in city apartments.

‘’This is already translating into people moving out of cities into rural areas. This is a decumented trend. That could mean an increase in air taxi/ very short haul operations between country and city destinations. For example, I’m 3 hours minimum by road from the city but less than 40 minutes by air.

Forget high speed rail as a solution because we don’t have the population density to afford it. A twice daily air service in a Caravan or suchlike would perhaps be viable - if it wasn’t for Australia’s uniquely unfriendly aviation regulation environment.
