So is this what the Line is?

The free market works amazingly in some cases (parking is one)

Yeah, same, doing the same in my home town of Perth, which is having a good expansion project right now. Still not good enough for most, but it's better than nothing

I wish this was doable for everyone (and might be somewhat doable for me as I live in a good suburb, but I can afford the luxury of owning a car), but most people I know need 2 or more cars per household, as public transport does not take them to work.

I have super (basically mandatory minimum 401k for Australians) for retirement savings (at least I hope I will). Assuming I don't have to pay real rent or mortgage by the time I retire, and Medicare is still intact, should be enough to cover my retirement.

Without those assumptions, I'd be fucked

As someone with a mortgage I wouldn't mind my price falling as long as it still exceeds the amount of debt I owe.

It's a chicken and the egg problem, but once supply is no longer restricted and houses are in good enough supply, they will no longer be seen as a good form of investment.

Kelmscott would be best, but completely unrealistic imo. Gosnells at least has a turn back there, though iirc there's no neutral section between Gosnells and Armadale so that's not that easy either.

I'm predicting a partial reopening to either Cannington or Gosnells. Probably Cannington. And by me, I mean just mates I've been talking to

Yeah, the train is better if you're taking T1/T2. Taking T3 or T4 (most Jetstar and Qantas)? you're fucked.

I'd like to offer a correction, best option in that case isn't taking the bus to T1/T2 though, it's taking a bus to Redcliffe station which comes at the same frequency as the Airport line.

Yeah. I feel like Grand Central and Town Hall should've been used instead.

Every real Canadian and Australian city slots between 1st and 2nd here

Perth's costs $4.16 to $5.20, and will soon be lowered to $2.80 to $3.50, and has a 12-15 minute all day frequency.

There's only one good air-rail link in Australia (in 2025), and it's not the Brisbane Airtrain either

Perth, WA if that wasn't clear

Driving doesn't include the ~3-5 min walk to the taxi stands, nor a longer walk to parking, but the public transport does include walking. Therefore, it handily beats driving, at least at 09:00 when this was looked up

Wouldn't it be better to use the 58 minute route to compare? Which is still more than 55 minutes I guess.
