Brisbane私营列车运营商Airtrain向Queensland最高法院提起诉讼，要求州政府赔偿因实施50¢公共交通票价政策导致的收入损失。1Airtrain母公司USS Axle声称被欠475万澳元的收入调整款。1该50¢票价政策自2025年2月10日起生效，虽然机场站点获得豁免，但连接郊区和黄金海岸的线路票价大幅下降，导致Airtrain通行乘客总票价收入大幅下滑。1双方谈判未果后，Airtrain最终诉诸法律途径。1
Airtrain首席执行官Chris Basche指出，尽管面临票价政策压力，公司客运量同比增长5%，创下纪录。1从中心站到机场的单程票价目前为$22.30。1该8.5公里列车线路于2001年竣工，初期建设成本约2亿澳元（以当今价值计为约3.8亿澳元）。1值得注意的是，Airtrain在疫情期间累计运营亏损约3000万澳元。1
根据特许协议条款，Airtrain的合约期限至2036年，届时所有资产将转入公众所有。1USS Axle是英国养老基金Universities Superannuation Scheme的子公司，于2013年收购了Airtrain。1
Brisbane's private train operator Airtrain has filed suit against the Queensland government, claiming compensation for revenue losses stemming from the state's implementation of a 50-cent public transport fare cap.1 The operator's parent company USS Axle asserts it is owed AUD $4.75 million in revenue adjustment payments following the policy's introduction on February 10, 2025.1
While airport stations were exempted from the fare reduction, services connecting suburban areas and the Gold Coast experienced significant price decreases, substantially eroding Airtrain's ticket revenue from passengers.1 The company's current single journey fare from Central Station to the airport stands at AUD $22.30.1 Despite the revenue impact, Airtrain Chief Executive Chris Basche reported that passenger numbers grew 5 percent year-on-year, reaching record levels.1 Negotiations between the parties proved unsuccessful, prompting Airtrain to escalate the matter to Queensland's Supreme Court.1
The 8.5-kilometer rail line, which began operations in 2001 at an original cost of approximately AUD $200 million (equivalent to roughly AUD $380 million in today's dollars), continues to operate under a concession agreement extending to 2036, after which assets will transfer to public ownership.1 Airtrain accumulated operational losses of approximately AUD $30 million during the pandemic period.1 USS Axle, a subsidiary of the British pension fund Universities Superannuation Scheme, acquired Airtrain in 2013.1
