Flight arrives, unload baggage onto carousel, take arrived passengers to major GRT interchanges while picking up departing passengers from same, unload passengers at terminal, head around back and load checked baggage onto plane. Job done.
Until there's more than a single scheduled major commercial flight per day this would totally suffice.
(I'm sure I've just simultaneously offended baggage handlers and professional drivers alike, as nothing is ever as simple as it seems to an outsider. I am happy to learn why this wouldn't/couldn't work.)
That assumes everyone who would use it live in KW, there will be some from Cambridge and Guelph, now that service is for 3 buses and drivers with each an even smaller group of passengers. At this point the demand and the costs might rival people carpooling or uberpooling if they are so inclined.
And for the ones in KW, I would think there would be less of an appeal to those who live farther from Victoria street and would prefer a direct trip home with an uber.
