Who is accountable for this idiocy?
Instead of the ...about 10 separate car rental vans that would jame up the garage shuttle point along with parking hustles and hote shuttles?

The other reason for this is that it opens up airport area real estate rrom single level rental places that could transition into multistory hotels or office buildings.
