Basically the usual suspects. We thought a few items in this article are worth noting. The article refers to passengers need to use off-airport parking as a bad thing. For those that have tried off-airport parking, I am sure they would disagree and point to the advantages of off-airport parking. The busiest days of the year, every domestic lot is full. As a result, many passengers must use off-airport parking. Also, there is no mention of mass-transit. Atlanta has some transit services in place. Wouldn’t expansion of these services help alleviate many of the transportation problems listed in this article?
