Overview

Welcome to the Metro Route Atlas's Airport Transit Project! This project aims to answer a simple question - what is the full spectrum of rapid transit solutions in use at airports?


To clarify, this project focuses on rapid transit within airports and airport rail (and BRT) links. In short, this project aims to document the full range of gadgetbahns and other options in use for airport transportation. Only fixed guideway systems are in scope for this project.


Each airport page will feature some general information on the airport itself, but this will be minimal when compared to the section for former and existing transit.

Project Airports

We will be creating pages in alphabetic order of IATA Airport Code. Sorry Canada - you'll be at the end.


Which airports qualify?

  • Airports with a Rail or BRT station named after airport with at least two trips per direction per day
  • Airports with a Rail or BRT station not named after the airport, but with either a free shuttle bus connection or less than 500m barrier-free walk without weather protection. Airports with free buses directly to the city center not included here. 500m barrier-free eliminates off-site stations that require stairs to reach or which are otherwise hard to get to (e.g. Belfast City Airport). An airport that happens to have a railway station on the opposite side from the passenger terminals but no way to get between the terminal and the station will NOT get a page.

Some notes:

  • Station on-site implies a rail or BRT station directly serving the terminals without a transfer to a people mover or shuttle. If false, the station requires a shuttle (must be free) to get to the terminals and is not short enough to walk. The 500m without weather protection restriction from earlier is used to determine if the station is onsite or not. A station more than 500m away from the station but physically connected with weather protection will still be considered onsite.
  • External Service is for service to the city, Connector Service is for connections between the station and airport (if no station on-site) as well as services outside the airport's secured area (landside), and Internal Service is for service within the airport terminals within the airport's secured area (airside).
  • Unlike elsewhere on the Metro Route Atlas, we have a section for Intercity Rail, as intercity rail connections greatly expand the reach of an airport - however, this service must operate at least twice a day per direction for it to count. High Speed Rail is grouped under Intercity Rail.
  • When referring to Connector and Internal Service, modes refer to technologies.
  • Airports with Metro stations on-site will have a icon. Airports with S-Train, People Mover, or Light Rail stations on-site, or Metro stations off-site with a rapid transit connector, will have a icon. Airports with BRT, Tram, or Regional Rail (but not Commuter/Intercity) stations on-site, or S-Train or Light Rail stations off-site with a rapid transit connector, will have a icon. These are paired with the respective external service (might not work super well on mobile unfortunately). This will make airports with good transit connections easier to see.

There is a high likelihood that we have missed airports. We are not actively monitoring under construction or planned projects.
