Blame BBC, not me.... I've been in U.S. Regional airports that resemble that description. I'm not fussy as long as they aren't repairing the flight. I don't want to watch some unceritified thug work the engine cowling back into place with a ball peen hammer.
I avoided the "subway" thread because I think anyone who complains about waiting 15-30 minutes for a bus or train is moving too fast. I think it's more important... as someone who lives in a semi-urban/semi-rural area, to have transportation of *any quality and timing* available 24/7. I've had one too many jobs that caused me to hitch- hike home in the rain at 11pm on a Saturday.
