Link: https://www.orlandoairports.net/parking-transportation/ https://www.orlandoairports.net/parking-transportation/ Orlando (MCO) has: Local public Lynx buses with red color at front - are located At Terminal A, level 1, at Commercial Lane spaces A38-A41 and serve the following areas: (current bus fare is $2): - To Downtown Orlando (40 mins): Lynx bus 11 via Orange Avenue; Lynx bus 51via Conway; - To International Drive (60 mins): Lynx Bus 42 . - To Forida Mall /Sea World (45 mins): Lynx bus 111. - To new Sand Lake Road SunRail Station* (3 miles from Airport): take the local Lynx bus stopping at Terminal A, level 1, at Commercial Lane spaces A38-41. Local buses are also available to Winter Park/ Maitland; Lake Buena Vista, Kissimmee, Disney's Maingate, & Walt Disney World. (Not counting all of the hotel buses or cruise ship buses) * Uber and Lyft near infinite transport in addition to taxi’s By Train: * The SunRail runs between DeBary (northwest of Sanford) and Sand Lake Road) For more information on SunRail service call 1-855--RAIL-411 or visit: sunrail.com/default.aspx. NOTE: The Lynx bus located on the A-side of the Terminal, at level 1, commercial lane spaces A38-A41 - connects to the Sand Lake Road SunRail station. For Amtrak service located at 250 Columbia Street, Orlando - 12 miles from the Airport - you can take the Lynx bus 11 to Orange Avenue & Columbia Street - taking a total of 30 minutes. The Amtrak station is about half a mile from the bus stop, down Columbia Street, then left onto Sligh Blvd. - this is in addition to the new BrightLine * By Car - Personal travel, rental car, guests picking you up or local parking lots both on premises and off premises (private lots) I don’t think Orlando and Zurich compare. Are you going to walk off the Orlando airport to somewhere else without being on some sort of transportation? No. But you aren’t going to do that at Oslo airport either. You need to take a train or bus for example to Oslo Central Station or elsewhere - similar to Zurich.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like the bus and train stations are that close together. Local buses stop at Terminal A, while the train pulls in to the new intermodal station off Terminal C [1], almost a mile away. At least there's an automated people mover connecting them, but it hardly seems like a convenient interchange. Buses are not even marked on the airport terminal map, which is split into separate maps for terminals A & B [2] and C [3]. That's going to make things more challenging for people to figure out. 1: https://www.orlandoairports.net/getting-around-mco/train-station/ https://www.orlandoairports.net/getting-around-mco/train-sta... 2: https://www.orlandoairports.net/getting-around-mco/#map-wayfinding-ab https://www.orlandoairports.net/getting-around-mco/#map-wayf... 3: https://www.orlandoairports.net/getting-around-mco/#map-wayfinding-c https://www.orlandoairports.net/getting-around-mco/#map-wayf...

  I mean train has to stop somewhere and Terminal C made the most sense. It’s external to the main airport. A and B are near identical. Walking to it isn’t a big deal. Not sure if you have been to the airport or any in general but walking is generally accepted. There’s the airport internal shuttle to save you walking an additional mile. It’s a busy airport.

    Having to walk for 10 minutes through the airport when your flight leaves in an hour isn't a big deal. However, it's a different story when you don't even want to be at the airport. At a lot of airports you can step out of a train, walk through the airport following a huge sign saying "BUSES THIS WAY", and step into a bus less than five minutes later. Having a short and well-signed intermodal connection is essential if you expect people to actually use it. Hiding it in an unmarked corner two walks and a people mover ride away isn't exactly what I would call convenient.

      I don’t think many airports outside the US are the size and scale of our airports. China maybe

Interesting! I found https://www.orlando-international-airport.com/ https://www.orlando-international-airport.com/, which only mentions car rental and undefined "Airport Shuttles"/"Hotel Shuttles"/"Taxis & Limos", and they did not show up on Google Maps. That's indeed quite a lot more. The Lynx buses at 30/60-minute intervals seem quite usable for most purposes, too bad they don't have a convenient transfer from the train.
