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,


Completely OT, but I got to use the airside bus at Stansted last week.


Even more oddly, I once got to use the LHR airside inter-terminal bus
when travelling *from* Heathrow (rather than when in transit). I was
going to Lyon (on BA) and just assumed the flight left from T4, like the
Paris flights. Having got through security, I was puzzled to see no sign
of the flight on the departure boards and then discovered it actually
left from T1. They allowed me to take the airside bus, through the
northern tunnel, to T1. My main recollection of that trip is the number
of times I had to clear security before eventually boarding the flight.
