Longest onsite airport people movers in North America
Phoenix Sky Train: Source: en.wikipedia.orgThe following list identifies those airports in North America that have onsite people mover, tram, subway, or similar transit systems. It does not include links to offsite transit networks unless they are an integrated part of the onsite people mover network, nor does it include bus transit. Generally, these onsite transit systems utilized cables, rail, or guideways to connect multiple terminal(s) and/or the terminal(s) with gates, parking garages, remote rental car facilities, cell phone lots, meeting facilities, hotels, and other related uses on or close to the airport property.
San Francisco-Oakland Airport – Source: flysfo.comSuch systems can help reduce congestion at or near airports, particularly near arrival and departure entrances, as well as provided accessibility to gates and other features without requiring lengthy walks. Please note, mileage for those airports with multiple lines and/or systems are first broken down individually, then compiled at the end of the list.

NewsOne · NYPD Shoots Black Man After Alleged Fare Evasion For $2.90 Subway Ride
The 'train guy', Francis Bourgeois, visits the Glasgow Subway, which he describes as one of the smallest subways in the world.
It is also the third-oldest underground rail transit system in the world after the London Underground and the Budapest Metro.

The world is building #subways like crazy. #US has pretty much given up
Cities are doubling down on #transit. Why can’t US do the same?
For #Americans, state-of-the art #masstransit like in Istanbul are about as familiar as transporter on Star Trek. As the US lavishes billions on highway expansions and subsidizes tricked-out SUVs, other countries are investing in transit systems that are setting new standards for speed, convenience, and technology
