People will simply try to evade the fare at every opportunity. I see it very regularly now so what do you think it will be like under an honesty system?Honesty system?
It's amazing how a lot of Europe uses an honesty system (open gate) for riding the bus, metro, tram etc.. We're a Western first world country (or so I'm lead to believe) and we can't institute such a system here without making a huge case that people will aim to evade the fare system.... How immature are we?
I would argue that OOL is probably the cheapest airport to get to and one of the few that has public transport that drops you right at the door for no more than a standard ticket.
Just like SYD, strangely enough:

Does T-Bus count? Drop off at all 3 front doors.Actually, come to think of it, except for Darwin, all of the capital cities have buses to the airport. Only BNE and MEL have services which don't directly drop you within a stone throw of the front door.

I suppose Brisbane public transport does get a dishonorable mention. A one stop journey on a paper ticket will cost either $4.50 or $5.20 depending on whether you cross a zone. Granted that is a cherry picked example but it must be up there.
