The best city for taking transit to the airport, according to one ranking, is also known for car culture and sprawl.

"Atlanta has the best transit to the airport in the nation," reports Kelly Yamanouchi via a ranking produced by MileCards.com. "The ranking is based on price, speed, convenience and frequency," explains Yamanouchi.
According to the survey, it's 26 percent faster to take MARTA to the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport than to drive from the Five Points station.
"Chicago’s Midway and O’Hare airports were ranked 2nd and 3rd in the study, followed by Denver International and New York’s John F. Kennedy International," adds Yamanouchi.
If you've never been to Atlanta, supplement your take on the rankings by perusing an article from Ana Santos from January about how to take MARTA to get to the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
