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.There is no Reagan Airport. Also, since when does LaGuardia have a subway stop? 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. The circulators involved at some of those airports are not optional, they are required for all passengers. If I want to take a plane out of Denver or Atlanta, I had better be ready to take the people mover to my gate, or else I'm not flying anywhere. On the other hand, how many transfers I make prior to reaching the check-in counter (or security checkpoint if I use online checkin) is totally in my control. If cost is not an issue, I am very likely to just get in a cab and take that to the airport because of the number of transfers, vehicle changes, and dragging luggage around that public transit can potentially involve. One-seat rides are important, Ron. You disagree, but in your world view, that means everyone else must be wrong. That is simply not the case. 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) You still call yourself mature? I think I'd rather have them heading up operations planning for the MTA as opposed to having you do it. |
