Looks like it's becoming one of those "who'd pay full price" items!
Actually, I *used* to be one who would pay the full price, both in BNE and SYD. Since I am usually travelling by myself, the rail fare will always be cheaper than a cab fare.

Since they reduced the frequency in BNE to half-hourly, I will still catch the train if I do not have to wait any more than about 10 minutes - any longer and the cabbie gets the fare.

Likewise if it is raining and I am going to BNE INT, due to where they stop the train you HAVE to get wet when leaving the train - no ifs nor buts about it. So again, the cabbie gets the fare.

Care to assist with where you can get discount tickets in Syd? Oh, and while I'm on the topic, is there any discount Skybus tickets avail in Melb?

I'm in a similar boat. I'm lucky(?) that I live right on the line to the airport, so for me it's a simple choice ... $30 or $8.

If it's personal travel then the Airtrain gets the job (when I'm actually leaving or arriving at an hour the train runs ... it starts too late and finishes too early!)

For work, it's an easy choice to call a cab.
