It's an airport with zero charm. For decades it didn't have metro access to DC. When you get off an international flight you get crammed into these stupid buses that drive you to a single hall for border control where you could be behind no one or a thousand people.



WTF is that design? We have had buses for 100 years, who made this thing?

E: okay it looks like it docks at a platform.

If elected to Congress, I will introduce a bill issuing letters of marque against Cybertrucks, empowering citizens to seize and scrap them as lawful prizes.

Oh it’s a whole thing. Mobile Lounges. They’re cool as hell but only a couple of airports still use them. Iirc the original designs had them where they’d lift up and down so you’d just board them and they would drive you directly to and from the plane out on the tarmac but the industry shifted elsewhere. Some YouTuber had a good write up on them recently-ish but I can find it for the life of me.

It is the best example of modern performative pick up trucks because you can barely fit anything into the truck bed part. If you get the range extending option you get even less.

Doesn’t the tonneau cover completely enclose the rear windshield, too? Great design.

Also just like modern performative pickups, you can't see the child that you hit until it's in the rearview mirror (if then).

Also worth noting that they are absolutely massive vehicles. They typically pick you up in the central terminal and take you to wherever your gate is. IAD has a separate international concourse that’s much nicer than the rest of the airport for some reason. Those busses aren’t all that bad but definitely annoying when you’re tired, disembarking and just want to get to your luggage and then you have to cram yourself onto one of those busses on the way back.
