Note that in both of those cases, it's generally regarded as something
annoying and dysfunctional. If the airport system were fast and
convenient, no reason it couldn't work, but they inevitably seem to be
designed by idiots getting kickbacks from the taxi industry and airport
parking lobby (at least in the U.S.)...
