  1. Running the Airport Rocket on the highway lends the tenuous credibility that barely, barely allows tourist guides to call the route a “shuttle” and not leave the city completely in the 1950s. Take that away by turning the route into a local 35 min bus ride and you’re living in Oklahoma City. (Or New York, taking the M60 to LGA on local streets instead of the Grand Central. Ugh.)

    Unbelievable, but at least someone made a fuss.
