I expect connections between town and airport to be seemless and stress free.
When I do make it to da airport, I dun wanna be harrassed or forced to strip when I go through security.
Once inside, it would be nice to have some amenities such as a laptop corner with free broadband (Singapore Changi) or decent food (HK Airport, Tokyo Narita) and not to have to take basi to my gate, but instead to take a simple train.
In other words, the airport and getting to the airport should be part of the journey. And it should be enjoyable. And stress free.
Which flying into or outta Dulles ain’t!
Come to think of it, none of the US airports have a good direct airlink. Or food. Ironically, SFO has decent food and the BART link is the closest thing to direct rail. At least at SFO, it goes DIRECTLY into the terminal. Heh.
Six hours later…am packed into an air bart basi. Either there is just one basi or the driver gets paid by the head, but I get on da basi…and wait, and wait, and wait and wait.
Here’s how crowded it was about 10 minutes before we finally left OAK to the BART station. And still more people were piling in because chances were that this was probably the ONLY bus running at this time of night (1900 hours). I would have taken a pic of that but you wouldn’t be able to see anything except some person’s unattractive butt, so I will spare you that.
After 13 minutes, the basi finally lumbers to the BART stop. Of course, it will be just in time to watch the train leave us on the platform for another 20 minutes. This sucks.
The positive thing: I found an In & Out near OAK! So that’s a positive thing, I guess. Actually, finding an In & Out in a place where u dun expect it is always a good thing!
Home now, yay.
