Sydney did it, but only with an Olympics looming, and they made it cost so much it’s cheaper to get a cab into the city with more than 1 person mjb |

Andrews out of cash! Rail is now ‘on hold’
I mean, what’s another 20 years. |
Don't worry, his labor mates/matesses in CBR will see to it that you get more of other state's GST to help out. "Their budget is in good shape", she (Zoe Daniel) said. :cool:

Is there any source on this other than the HS article?

Oh that is a beauty, Iccy! :D

I'd love to know how any of this has anything to do with socialism?

The problem with rampant capitalism is that eventually you run out of other people's children to send down the coal mines.

Strictly correct NN - in perfect competition in a free market.
However our markets are not free and there is no perfect competition. Transport is most definitely not a free market! Rail is a natural monopoly - unless you are prepared to build say 5 competing rail lines - so rial charges a monopoly premium. Taxis and hire cars? Nope, the vehicles and drivers are licenced and numbers are capped. Airport access? Nope - the parking nazis see to that. |
Reckon extending the present tram line from YMEN to YMML could be a cost affective and viable option to consider in the short term. Not for everybody but sure many would take advantage of such a service.

How about we just build a train line from the city to the damn airport! As soon as bloody possible! How hard is it. Only in Oz. Embarrassing.

Poppa, read post #65. Comrade Dan has spent all his (taxpayers) money.
|
Capn, the cost has blown out to a massive amount due to years of delays. Land and corridors have long been built over. If they had built it at the same time as the airport it would have cost very little. The real reason it hasn't been built yet is because the airport is really a massive capark business. A train would impact those profits.

I know Asian countries are 3rd world and have no idea……
Bangkok - skyrail Kuala Lumpur - fast train Singapore - subway Jakarta - train (45 min) Osaka / Haneda / Narita - fast and easy bullet access Hong Kong - super efficient China - can’t remember been to long! Straya - leading the way! |
