 Is Brisbane's Airtrain too expensive? :: ABC Brisbane
Brisbane's Airtrain Citylink has the slogan: 'a smarter way to travel' - it's also a more expensive way to travel, when compared to other forms of local public transport.
If the Airtrain was part of Brisbane's zonal public transport system, passengers would only pay $3 to get from Central Station to the airport; however, Airtrain is run privately and is not subsidised by the government, and a trip from Central to the airport costs passengers $12.
Airtrain was entirely built by private business, with no taxpayer expense at all and our fares are not subsidised at all by the government, so they really reflect the actual cost of train travel," he comments.
