Every other major airport in the country has a streamlined rental car pickup, but DEN has each company run thousands of buses each day wasting huge amounts of diesel. I could go on.
The airport is run by incompetent fools.
It was state of the art when it opened in 1995. It was in the Boonies and way too big for its time then. I recall flying in there 97/98 and it wasn’t too busy. It just has not kept up with times.
Unfortunately it seems to be a common trend in this country with infrastructure not keeping up with demand.
