People from abroad flying into BHX will rarely have sterling coins on them...just notes....they won't use one....
People with little luggage won't use a trolley.....
People who normally would but can wheel their cases won't use one....
fewer people will use them meaning fewer people will need to be employed to fetch and return them.......
Its not just about making money but saving money too on jobs....and on less trolleys needing repair/replacing.....
it looks bad on the surface but a lot of airports will be sure to follow this example.
and will people really avoid BHX just because of a £1 trolley charge.....will they flt to MAN in protest and spend £25 getting the train or coach and spending hours on the M6.....no they won't.
This scheme, although inconvenient, will do exactly what is wanted by the airport.
