Quote from Track Direct:
About the only pax on those services out west these days are those employed by govt departments who have their fares paid for.
Most struggling bush families have no hope of affording the airfares to DBO from those smaller towns, possibly with the exception of CBA where the mining companies are.
It's a sign of the times in the bush, it's another big blow to rural people in those small towns.
Its seems to me that if no-one can afford to use a service, and the service is removed then no one is missing out on anything, except the operator who gets to miss out on that red ink on the bottom line.
It really amazes me how some still believe that those that CHOOSE to live in the Bush should be subsidised for every little inconvenience.
- Didnt rain, give me money.
- Too far to drive, give me cheap airfares.
- I grow stuff, give me a tax break.
Dont complain to me about the hardships of living in the bush.
MOVE.
