FRA Shortcut from Buses to C Terminal
I often arrive in FRA from other destinations in Europe and connect back to the US on United 933 which inevitably leaves out of the C concourse.
9 times out of 10, upon arrival in FRA, I am bussed to the terminal. This drops us off in the B? terminal and there seems to be no other option than to walk and re-enter the C terminal as if I had just arrived from outside of the airport.
Is there an easier way to do get to C when being bussed in? Is there a short cut/back door/elevator to the Sky Train? Seems that 7 out of 10 times the incoming LH flight is late and I am in full sprint to C through the labryinth of FRA.

Not trying to be cynical or funny.
Fly F or become Hon and get shuttled from FCL B or request special assistance.
I am always tempted to take the train to D and then walk back, but I do not know, whether this is possible at all and didnt feel courageous enough to test it.

UA departures are from lower C gates. 
Spare a thought for those who have to walk to C13-16 gates. The Sky Train doesn't help since Piers B and C share the same stop.
mamb0 is probably thinking of C13-16 gates which are right next to D gates, but apparently there's no direct connection for pax between T2 and C gates.

Use LH 416 or 418 in F and get a Mercedes transfer ex FCL. cn't understand why somebody chooses UA over LH anyway UA = unbelievably awful.

Oh, they dont shuttle for Codeshare flights? I did not know and honest to god, the last time I flew UA from Frankfurt was before Star Alliance.
So only option then is to pretend to be incapacitated and get a wheelchair/cart transfer

This is what the OP needs. 
ANA begins rickshaw service at Haneda airport
Personally I don't mind a brisk walk between flights, though I hate bus rides through the bowels of FRA.

A Schengen to A Non-Schengen
One follow up question that I did not see addressed. If your flight from a Schengen country arrives in A and you are transferring to a flight to a non-Schengen country departing from A, how do you change levels? I imagine it is more complicated than simply taking an elevator. Thanks.

Gate for Denver flights
Hi,
Flying via FRA to Denver next week and was wondering if the Denver flight went from the A or B gates? I will have about 3 hours at the airport and would like to visit the new tower lounge which I believe is in the A area. If it goes form B can I access the lounge in the A area?
Thanks for any help, itransfer through FRA 4-5 times a year but find it geographically challenging.

It really depends: Sometimes DEN flights even depart from the C gates. You may want to read this thread as well. It is probably not worth to visit the tower lounge if you don't depart from the A gates.
