Yikes! New data has proven that Melburnians want the Airport Rail Link way more than the Metro Tunnel (www.timeout.com)

It does “Make Sense” in the “Economic Rationalism” mindset.

They don’t want to loose money they make on Parking, Airport bus licensing and all these other little penny-pinching charges they can make in their role as the monopoly.

If they loose customers to other methods of transport like Interstate Rail/Coaches, driving and people just not travelling, that is fine because they still make obscene profits on the parking.
