For the uninitiated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7TboWvVERU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7TboWvVERU Context: The old munich airport in Riem was closed in the 90s. The new airport was very far away. Gadgetbahn Transrapid, running through tunnels and above the remains of the old olympia train line from '72, should save the day. MP Stoiber tries to explain the advantages. Translation: If you start from the main station in Munich with 10 minutes, without having to check in at the airport yet, then you basically start at the airport, at the main station in Munich you start your flight. 10 minutes. Take a look at the major airports. If you go to Heathrow in London or anywhere else, Charles de Gaulle in France or in Rome, if you look at the distances, if you look at Frankfurt, you will find that 10 minutes is all you need to find your gate in Frankfurt. If you start from the main station, you get into the main station[1], you take the Transrapid to Franz Josef Strauss[2] Airport in 10 minutes, then you practically start here, at the main station in Munich. Of course, this means that the main station basically grows closer to Bavaria, to the Bavarian cities, because that is obvious, because many lines from Bavaria converge at the main station. [1] "get into" like you would get into a bus, like if the station actually transports you to your destination [2] Bavarian MP and German Minister in the 60s/70s/80s, Munich Airport is named after him
