you can bet once it connects to OOL it wont stay at 8.78 for long:evil:
Nah, should stay around the same. I believe the Govt is completely funding the extension to OOL, vs the private companies which funded the connection to BNE.
Not much different to catching the Brisbane City Council bus (from Toombul shops) to the Brisbane Airport (Industrial/shopping) zone for ~$3. It goes onto airport land, but is funded by the Govt as a regular commercial service. A taxi fare from DFO to Domestic or Intl airport would still be about $10 from there though, or about 30 mins walk I think.
I think there are also Sunbus busses that stop outside OOL airport at the moment which are funded by the Govt through Translink. Been a while since I've been past OOL airport though to actually care too much about where bus stops etc are.
So, yep, not all Airport public transport is expensive. (SYD and the public bus service, Adelaide and their bus and PER and their bus are all other examples of the same types of subsidised services)
