The Elusive Airport-Subway Link
"Over the ensuing years, they learned a cruel transportation lesson: Sometimes, you just can't get there from here. Their project became a frustrating journey marked by nagging delays and political turbulence. But now, that long-anticipated airport extension is finally touching ground.This week, the 98-mile Bay Area Rapid Transit system will finally go the few extra miles to connect with the world's seventh-busiest airport, adding San Francisco to a short list of cities nationwide including Atlanta, Chicago and Washington with a direct airport-subway link... The 8.7-mile spur will feature four new stops, including an airport station within steps of the international gates and another in suburban Millbrae offering a cross-platform connection between a subway and regional rail line."
