YOU (not we, you are not speaking "for the people")Actually I am speaking for the people. one of the paid branches happens to pass through one of their parking lots. No, sorry, it does not just happen to pass through one of the parking lots. It is 100% fully contained in the long term lot, except for the portion above the road to Fed Circle. The primary purpose of the line is to get people from the long term lots to the terminals. And I believe the ridership numbers would prove that. People would have to be certified nuts to actually pay that $5 rip off if they know about it ahead of time and understand they are getting ripped of BIG TIME. It's an insult to their intelligence. 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. No, you can't seriously believe that they ever wanted the parking lot to be on the main loop and that the main purpose of the HB branch is to serve the (A)!!?!?!?!? f 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. No, I highly doubt it went down in any way like you are saying. No, there is the circulator, a branch with a fee, and a branch with a free station and a station that is both free and has a fee. |
