Heathrow not much better? The train goes right under the terminals and it is express right into the central station!!!
Paris has the RER into the center of the city from the airport station!
NY should improve this as the airtrain only handles a minute percentage of passengers going into the city as of now. Asking people to make a transfer is going to reduce the ridership by rail into the city as people don't want to think too much when arriving in a foreign city. Perhaps they want it that way (afraid of upsetting taxi lobby?), if so, how pathetic. Getting cars off the congested highways would be beneficial to everyone.
