POLL: Airtrain Service

[#Metro]

What is most important to you?

Clarification:

Discounted group ticketing means 2 or more persons get a cheaper fare on a 'group' ticket.

Cheaper fares means that the current fare structure remains (i.e. no group ticket), but the price is lowered.

OK, a trend is emerging.
I'm guessing passengers on peak hour departures ex Sydney arriving in Brisbane are not being catered for?

Improved services aren't important before about 7:30am in winter.  Perhaps in summer a 15 minute frequency from around 6:45am would be nice, but hardly a priority.  What is needed is a 15 minute frequency from around 7:30am to 8pm at least, with a half hourly frequency until midnight or so.  If that had been done before the Airport Link was conceived, it may not have been.

Oddly enough Airtrain USED to have 15 min frequency all-day service untill 8pm at night. 

This had lost them money, so they had to reduce back to 30 minutes in the off-peak.  Surprisingly enough, cutting back the off-peak service made a profit for AirTrain after loses for the first few years.

Though in my opinion, assuming AirTrain is still privately owned, I would suggest improved peak services, and extended night time hours untill 11:30pm at the earliest.  Both the AirTrain and the State Government would have to jointly fund any extra services.

I am aware of this.  Adding 30% to your patronage is less attractive when you are only seeing 5-6000/week as compared to >5000/day.

hope that made sense.

I voted for more night time services.  While I'd love to see 15 minute service come back, I can live with half hourly.  I cannot tolerate getting home on a normal evening peak flight to find rail services have already ceased.

It is a bit disgraceful.  Also, if you have a 9pm flight and only carry on bags you still need to be there 1 hour before, which I find annoying.
