Transport infrastructure is distorted. We should use the best mean of transportation for a given step. The best new ideas for transport comes from outside developed countries. Curitiba and Kuala Lumpur are case in point. Here you can drive to KL Central station. Drop your car there. Take a ride on high speed train (KLIA Express)to airport which is located 70Km from downtown. Check in take a short internal shuttle train and walk a few meters to your airplanes. Older cities in Europe and the US, that constructed airports long time ago, are dead. Public opinion don't allow them to implement better infrastructure since they will object to it. Too many weirdoes form Greenpeace, environmentalists, Greens et al. I don't mean the weirdoes are completely nefarious, they must have a say and point to better solutions. What I am against is letting them have the upper hand as they are having in developed countries. Their shallow knowledge don't let them see the big picture, and their end up defending the status quo -which dirtier, less effcient and more costly- rather than do something positive and let more modern infrastructre be built.
