Here in the UK, particularly airports like Gatwick, Heathrow and Stanstead have astonishingly good bus, coach and rail links (and Underground to central London in the case of Heathrow) and unless you live a good distance, have a disability or perhaps a big family, there is little reason to take a car. Of course many people like to distance themselves from public transport for a variety of reasons and take a car, which needs a parking space; if they don't have a good reason not to use public transport they should be stuffed on parking fees. I would like to see parking areas reduced, thus destroying less land, but for the point you make above, it's never going to happen. Malcolm
