Qatar built a new airport primarily for QR and yet they still use buses! Nothing like getting off a cold, dry plane in the middle of the day in August and walking to a bus to take a 10-15 minute tour around the airport. Admittedly QR does a much better job with J passengers as they use separate buses and will board them last or offload first.
