[Idyllchat] airport

[Art and Marilyn Bervin]

Ever since living in Denmark for a year, I have 
bemoaned the lack of integrated transportation in 
this country.  From where we lived near 
Helsingør, I could take a bus or a local train to 
Helsingør and the train to Copenhagen.  And now 
the train runs from Copenhagen airport and on the 
Malmö, Sweden.  Living without a car that year 
was quite easy.  Not so in western North America. 
Here modes of transportation are usually seen as 
competitors, so easy connections from plane to 
train or bus or from bus to train are the 
exception rather than the rule.
