Every time I arrive or depart from Narita Airport, I cannot help but wonder why is there a light rail service connecting 2 terminals, which was merely 200 meters apart. Passengers were forced to spend another 2 or 3 minutes waiting, shovel themselves (and the luggage) in, which takes 1.5 minute, the train journey is about 20 seconds and then disembark the train, which takes another 1.5 minute if you are unlucky.
Supposing using a moving walkway or simply making passenger walk between terminals, it might only take 2.5 minutes? What is the logic to build the expensive 200-meter railway and 2 trains? Is it so that Narita airport can space the people arriving in the immigration control? What if all aircrafts arrive in the main terminal? The expensive light rail just doesn't justify its existence.
