>>What is it about mass transit and airports? The only airport I know of that is served is Reagan across the river from Washington.
Mostly true, though in San Francisco you can take BART straight to SFO. And from the south bay I could take CalTrain to millbrae and catch the last little leg of BART to SFO. That has only been true since about 2005 or 06 though.
Of course San Jose’s airport only has bus service.
“Mostly true, though in San Francisco you can take BART straight to SFO.”
Rumor has it that taxicab companies heavily lobby cities to prevent good connections dirctly from mass transit to airports. I don’t know if that’s true or not.
The BART connection to SFO is FANTASTIC. I seriously doubt I’ll ever get to SFO any other way. The only bad thing is, if your return flight to SFO gets cancelled/rerouted/rescheduled, and you have to take a different flight into SFO and end up there super late at night, BART closes at 1 am or 2 am and then you’re stuck. Until morning. Happened to me on a flight from London and I slept for 6+ hours in the airport. Sucked.
