Denver, Detroit Facilities Considered Hard to Get to

Sept. 28, 2006
Denver's airport is a long way from downtown, and the only bus service is a shuttle.

Frequent fliers have seen their share of road congestion. Several say Detroit and Denver airports have the worst public transit links.

"As the automobile capital of the world, Detroit has never had a reliable public transportation initiative in place," says Mark Murphy, who works for a dental education institute in Key Biscayne, Fla.

"There are no trains to the planes, just automobiles. Bus routes cannot get you there quickly, and they do not run far into the suburbs."

Denver's airport is a long way from downtown, and the only bus service is a shuttle, says Leon Young, a business consultant in Santa Fe.

"The drivers want to wait until they get enough passengers, and the trip can be a rather long one."

Several other frequent fliers praise the rail services that go directly into the airports serving San Francisco, Atlanta and Chicago.

"O'Hare has the best public transportation system," says Sammy Tamil, sales manager of a tile company in Port Reading, N.J. "It's very accessible to get to once you land, and the signage is excellent."
