Ground transport

Airports

Airports serve as a station for air transport activities, but most people and cargo transported by air must use ground transport to reach their final destination. Airport-based services are sometimes used to shuttle people to nearby hotels or motels when overnight stay is required for connecting flights. Companies provide rental cars, private bus and taxi services while mass transportation is usually provided by a municipality or other source of public funding. Several major airports, including Denver International and JFK International, provide many types of ground transportation, often by working with livery companies and similar businesses. Smaller airports may only have a few private rental companies and a bus service. Larger airports tend to offer several different transportation options, such as light rail and/or roads that loop around an airport to provide access from multiple terminals.
