The news you have been wanting to hear. I have finally got an answer for you all regarding fares for users of the new East Keilor/Keilor Park/Airport West station..

FARES WILL BE AT PUBLIC TRANSPORT RATES!

Minister Jacinta Allen has advised:
"While fares to the airport on Melbourne Airport Rail are expected to be comparable to other airport services across Australia, stations along the route not traveling to the airport will be in line with the existing metropolitan / regional fare structures."

I have attached the letter in full for your consideration. Thank you to everyone who supported me in my campaign for community transparency. I have replied to Minister Allen with my message of thanks for providing me with this information.

Also, thank you to Minister Ben Carroll MP for forwarding my email to Minister Allen.

Last week, I finally received the below response from Ben Carroll (MP), regarding my enquiry relating to access to the new East Keilor (Keilor Park) train station, that was sent 4 weeks earlier.
I find the response inadequate given that I am asking for a commitment that the station will be accessible on the public transport network & not exclusively on the new Airport Rail Link, not about the cost of the ticket itself.
As such, this morning I sent a reply & CC:'d Jacinta Allan (MP), which is also included below.
