Rail to airports

Rail to airport is considered by many as the gold standard or world class in terms of access. A rail connection provides airport travelers with a traffic-free and affordable transportation, and helps promote tourism and conventions for the city. The most preferred arrangement would be a rail station located adjacent to the main airport terminal, but at some airport connection is provided via an automated people mover (at on site airport terminal rail stop, or outside the terminal area). At other airports, rail connection to airport is provided via frequent or on demand shuttles.
