    Our little town had its own airline, with three or four small feeder planes that did daily flights Gunnedah-Tamworth-Quirindi-Sydney. 

    Japan solved this problem using fast trains - Live in Mount Gambier, start work at 9 am in Melbourne CBD

    They were talking there about Feeder airlines and showed some of the feeder aircrtaft like the DeHavilland Dove.

    That was the government policy then and it's a pity the government wasn't more strict because we would be seeing major airports at regional cities and big towns with feeder bus routes to the smaller towns.

    What happened is that entrepreneurs tried to dominate the market, and a few, like Reg Ansett cleaned the competitors out then dropped the services so the rehional cities didn't grow and the capital cities became inefficient because of traffic delays. Today there is a huge potential market for commuter cities within a commuting distance of about 60 - 90 minutes, but we don't have the airports or fast processin systems to kick it off.
