"Short" walk? .7 of a mile along the John F. Fitzgerald Surface Road does not meet the general definition of a "short" walk when traveling with luggage - and the vast majority of people would not consider it a "connection" either. You are correct that one could take the Silver Line bus, but I was addressing the route you reported taking.And you also can't really compare walking for a connection in a terminal to this walk, since in a terminal, you're not generally lugging your checked luggage with you. So - in conclusion, you're some combination of Superman, the Incredible Hulk, and a masochist, and will make sure you always use public transportation to get to the airport. Planners, on the other hand, need to take into account what the general populace is likely to do - and despite everything you've said (at increasing virtual volume, I might add), people with luggage, children, etc. are just not willing to take the roundabout routes you propose - and as one who, I'm quite sure, travels more than you do, I think there right. And yes I do often take both the subway/AirTrain and Blue Line/shuttle bus route myself. subfan |
