I’ve never had need to use the Sky Train. I am astounded at the huge amount of parking that this airport (and I’m sure other) has. Lots of land dedicated to holding empty automobiles. Rather wasteful and poor land use management.
What a silly comment. Do you realize that there are two multi-level parking decks as well for daily and hourly parking? And all of this has been here for decades. And the MARTA rapid rail system comes right into the terminal. It’s the world’s busiest airport and has been for decades, sitting on the same footprint. So not sure what wondrous improvements you’d make. Maybe some solar panels or windmills on the site of the parking lots? 🙄
@@neilaxelrod5872 Having lived 2 miles from the airport for 34 yrs, until moving downtown in 2016, I’m well aware of land use issues surrounding the airport, as well as traffic and parking. Sadly America devotes extreme amounts of land to parking cars, when there are other alternatives. When one examines how access to airports and land use are studied, mega parking lots are not seen as the best solutions. Do some study before you jump in to criticize.
@@brucewilkinson8599 it’s not going downhill because of me, and I live in the suburbs. I’m not the one commenting on RU-vid videos about the planning of parking lots that have been there for many years.
@@SparenofIria Thanks that makes more sense, though a little inconvenient but I can see they really had no choice because of the way the terminals are situated, surrounded by the active taxi ways and runways!
@@lechiffre1914When considering that it’s the only major airport for the city compared to how every other city you just mentioned has at least 2 or 3 than it makes sense why the airport is so busy.
@@banksrail Fair enough! I suppose it just seemed odd that the airports for the 3 biggest US cities I mentioned aren't as busy as the airport for the 39th biggest city!
