Why Don't More U.S. Airports Connect to Amtrak?
A new federal report says the costs of intermodal air-and-rail hubs outweigh the benefits in all but a "limited number of places."
The Miami Intermodal Center — a $2 billion hub for air, rail, transit, and car travel — will be completed sometime late this year or early next. When that time comes, people traveling through Miami International Airport will be able to do something very rare in American transportation. They'll be able to arrive at or leave the airport on Amtrak.
That's only true at two other major airports across the country: Newark International in New Jersey, and Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, California.
