I think they believe the Heathrow Connect/HEx free shuttles fulfil that
need.


I think they do reasonably well, the only downside being the lower
frequency.


Quite a few people use the airside buses, which are rarer in the USA. I'd
like to say "unknown" but they do exist, I saw one at Newark last week
connecting Terminals A[1]&C (both of which have Continental flights).


I would have thought that the US policy of making everybody clear
immigration/customs at first entry point/final exit point restricts the
demand for air side transfers somewhat.
