Making a stop is a lot less of an issue if it also serves as a transfer hub. This can greatly reduce the congestion of downtown stations.
- bobthepanda 6y agoSchiphol also is one of the largest examples of a one-terminal airport, though. This approach would work less well at, say, JFK, which features terminals arranged in a circle that is too wide to serve with a station or two without significant walking, but too small to have trains feasibly stop often enough to eliminate the walking problem.
