Default Crossrail fares announced - and a massive extension!

In message , at 09:33:39 on Tue, 20 Mar
2018, remarked:

Given an airliner can use anything up to a ton of fuel (747) just to taxi
around a large airport such as Heathrow ,


Divided by the number of passengers then leaving by road.


It would be interesting to see how many people arrive by car or taxi vs
train/tube or bus/coach. I would guess the latter probably exceeds the former
by an order of magnitude.


The figures are available online.

As usual, you are completely wrong:

"59% of passengers at Heathrow travel to the airport by car or taxi, 28%
use rail and 13% bus/coach."
