"Philadelphia's SEPTA R1 goes directly to nearly all airport terminals in Philadelphia Internationl Airport. Though a premimum fare is charged (Zone 5), it is a one seat ride from Center City and runs every 30 minutes from 4:30 AM to 12:30 AM."But you have to get to the R1 first. Which means a transfer unless you start in the CBD. In New York it doesn't work as well because there are at least 4 CBDs in the city. I like the R1, and I am a faithful rider on it when in town, but let's be realistic about it. " but there IS a free monorail system at O'Hare that will take you to all terminals." Yes. So in fact your only problem isd that the PA charges an extra fare. Oh well. If the PA thinks ridership isn't high enough they can change that. "D.C. has direct Metro service to both airports, and that is no problem." False, but only temporarily so. Metro serves one airport; MARC serves BWI and there is no rail service to Dulles yet. And with MARC you have to transfer to a bus if I'm not mistaken, so that doesn't count as a full rail facility (but it's better than nothing). I am hoping that Dulles access will in fact occur in future. |
