Early Access: The Pros and Cons of Airport Transit
🕑 Added 2022-12-09 05:23:58 +0000 UTCThis video has been a thought in my head for awhile. Jarrett Walker, the author of Human Transit, has been a critic of airport transit, and I found his arguments to be pretty convincing. But I tried to provide a more balanced take—airports CAN be good terminating stations for certain lines. But do they need to be treated differently, with express service and higher fares? Maybe not. Just my take, anyway.
And this didn't make the cut for the video, but I wasn't picking on Denver because it is a particularly bad example. I chose it because it was a typical example. No hate for Denver here!

Great video, I like seeing some of the ‘cons’ to transit discussed to get a balanced view. At 7:48 are there words missing on the last bullet or am I just not reading it properly? I’m assuming it means ‘will still ride transit if it is poor service or expensive’?
