Saw this the other day when I was trying to find some dates for the R19.
It's from 2006, but refers back to data from 2005 and prior.
If anyone has a graph on passenger numbers and can correlate data over the same period, we could be on to something.
Appreciate there is a lot more to the decline, than just the increase in fares, but there will be some sort of relationship.
