Episode Details

Townsville’s launching a brand-new 50-cent airport bus, route 222, hitting the streets June 26th to whisk travelers between the airport, city center, ferry terminal, and The Strand—part of a bigger push to make public transit more accessible. But not everyone’s cheering: longtime shuttle operator Will Strijdom fears his $12 fares will vanish under this ultra-cheap option, risking his business. The idea came from community feedback, though exact survey numbers remain murky. Backed by the airport and local business groups, the service aims to handle the city’s booming tourist traffic—thousands daily—and runs hourly, seven days a week, promising convenience without the price tag.
