Maybe not, but if a commercial entity can't make a go of things, and the Government already provides a transport solution to those regional centres, why should taxpayers foot the bill to double-up just because someone wants a faster trip to the big smoke? There's very few medical reasons where speed is of the essence, it's personal preference to get to and from the appointment as quickly as possible.

Hell, it might even prompt the Government to invest more in the regional rail & coach network for the benefit of everyone along the route, not just at the end. Dreamin' I know...That being said, I've always thought Rex could make money out of their regional services. Captive market. Fully depreciated fleet. Minimal competition and so on.
