All airpports involve transfers, even if it's from your car to the curb and into the terminal. Passengers headed for the airport know they are going to schlep luggage. The only question is how easy you make it, and a good transfer is far better than a long hike.Some airports function OK with one subway stop. Reagan is nicely arranged for that. La Guardia is too, though the walk to some gates is a pretty healthy hike. Midway is nicely arranged. But EWR, JFK, Hartsfield, McCarron, Tampa, Denver simply cannot function without circulators. The distances involved are too large. Even O'Hare, while "cemntralized" involves long hikes to get to many gates. However, I'm certainly not going to say that CTA did wrong by their O'Hare line. I see it as a positive and welcome development, as is the Midway line. But not transferring to a circulator to get to the farther gates is a lot more work than using a circulator. So in NYC, extending the circulator to meet both multiple subways and commuter rail was the single smartest thing the PA could do. The transfer is going to happen anyway, no matter what, and the PA's transfers are very good. It's comical how a few rabid foamers like Brian and David just rail (pun intended) against this.But Subchat is a safe place to do it, a place where they can rant but can't screw up anything for passengers...:0) |
