This is what I'd like to see as well. It could even extend out to Breslau one day. And if I had a blank chequebook, I'd have a terminus built at the airport. I mean what good is an international airport without transit connections?
I've suggested that to a friend in my line of work and got called crazy haha. But then one week we were both in Germany. We took a trip to Nürnberg for something. They're a city with roughly the same makeup as us. It has a similar population, has two neighbouring cities connected to it (Fürth and Erlangen) and yet they have 3 subway lines, streetcars, a few S-Bahn lines and plenty of buses. A few years back they extended one of the subway lines to their international airport and it has been an incredibly useful tool to help grow the city and get people around.
With airlines interested in our airport for a multitude of reasons, we ought to invest in a good transit connection to it. I know there's a suggestion for Metrolink to have a little extension to it from the future Breslau station, but with the pace they operate at I think we'd be waiting for decades. We need something to go to our airport...even if it's just an express bus.
