Yeah and in Sydney, if you use the same line but not use any of the airport stations, there is no surcharge (e.g. if you travel from Wolli Creek to the CBD). Apparently it's the airport stations themselves that are private (and hence can charge what they like)

What a shame this new line is lacking in synergy with high density land use planning which creates the potential for higher ridership.

It’s a missed opportunity to create vibrant communities around each station which directly addresses climate crisis while benefiting the local economy.
