HKG is totally different. Because HKG wants to become the regional airport among 3 different borders, so HKG has to work with different providers to enhance its transportation network.

On the other hand, SFO and OAK is within 1 single border. If the demand was there, we should be able to see frequent coach service in lieu of BART.
