Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Sun Mar 2 20:18:20 2008, in response to Re: Air Train question, posted by Terrapin Station on Sun Mar 2 19:13:32 2008. I am not making it a distance based issue. YOU (not we, you are not speaking "for the people"), so the proper phrase is "I am saying") that.It is a FLAT fee system for it's two branches. One of the paid branches happens to pass through one of their parking lots. Instead of making an invonvenient loop through that parking lot, they decided to make the loop smaller, and leave that parking lot out of the main loop, since they were building a branch to a transit station. If they were just building a circulator, they could have just built as far as the lot they were serving, or just make the look a little bigger, but since they were going to be building to a transit station that abuts the airport, they put that parking lot on that paid branch (which makes much more sense operationally, and also design wise). Because they were going to be getting revenue from going all the way to that transit station a short distance more, they designed it this matter. This caused a semantics problem (as already discussed), but the design positives outweighs the semantics problem. So we have an airport circulator with two paid flat fee based branches by this design. |
