Reviving a Thread; with talk of upgrading the airports, has anyone considered public transportation to these airports; or at least shuttle buses.
If these airports are outside of city centers, the passengers can not be fully utilized for the benefit of the city they are arriving in... tourism, local services, easily connecting on to near by locations for even more tourism
for example, with the plans for lahore's airport modernization I have not seen any information (please let me know if anyone has any info on it) of a link to the metro system or train station or bus terminals. we should be planning multimodal hubs so these expensive facilities can get maximum density/usage, causing land value to increase; from which government earns some money, and can spend to improve the infrastructure that feeds into these terminals; a virtuous circle
look at london, dubai, thailand, or any other train station, bus terminal, airport run like a public-private partnership
