The 2nd-worst decision was deciding not to build an APM train AT ALL in Phase 2 or any time in the near future at a brand new remote pier airport built in the 21st century. The below graphic shows the footprint for the trains, they just decided not to build them. At all. For "several decades at the earliest".
[Removed snarky comment] There is a reason to the current madness. As said above, the current tunnel is a temporary tunnel until the main tunnel is finished. When the main tunnel is finished there will be no need for APM as there will be a train. I can understand that logic.
Now if you want to discuss a bad design decision, try being in Denver when the train derails. There is absolutely no way to get between the concourses.
