What do we do from Terminal #2? Hoof it? Or, bus to #4?
The Hotels were pushing for this change for years. As a junior reserve guy getting DH to NY a lot; the transportation never showed up. I used to take the train to Federal Station because that was the only way to get reliably picked up without a 30 to 45 minute wait for "he'll be right there." Talking to the drivers, they basically wanted to refuse driving to the airport because of the traffic/inconvenience/time away from the coffee and paper at the hotel.
