Exactly. And additional pressure will be on them when the Aerotrain starts operation connecting the various Dulles buildings. But the Aerotrain won't go to the D Concourse at all. And it will have a station serving the C Concourse - but that station is actually where the yet-to-be-built C Concourse is with a walkway back to the current C Concourse. Not a great situation, especially for those connecting between A and D.
