In Europe they have done it right -- > Train underneath or adjacent to terminal (London, Amsterdam, Paris, Madrid, Rome, Milan, Frankfurt, etc, etc.). Why must the US do everything on the cheap only to bemoan the half-baked projects years into the future after the project struggles to reach ridership potential?

Theres a reason it was done this way.
Metrorail operates every 10-30 minutes. Thats right, a train every 30 minutes.
People need to get between the airport and the MIC much more frequently...every 3 minutes.
Thats why its two systems. One needs to run 24/7 every 3 mins, one doesnt.
Its not half-baked, its not politics....its simply smart design.
Anyone know why the pedestrian bridge is built so high up? Seems excessive.
