Comment on Why do US airports have a lot more jet bridges than EU airports?

Buses between terminals is a lot more common and I’ve even seen buses acting as airplanes in the USA.

I can see some US airports using bussing, but it feels like the practice is far more commonplace in the EU than the US. It is also odd given than EU airports appear to be newer on average to US airports.

I’ve heard of buses acting as trains (rail replacement service) but imagine being told your airplane is cancelled and you’ll get a replacement bus service

  It is used a lot in Philadelphia to connect to small regional airports. American Airlines gets credit for serving the smaller airports without needing to dedicate planes and pilots to the route.
