Yup - look at the "Green Line" in Los Angeles... Goes up to one miles from LAX... AND STOPS. THEN you have to take a taxi and/or bus. Period. (unless you wish to hike a mile with luggage/family in tow). It's all politics. (Kind of unrelated to the original post about photographing it, but related to some of the feedback). The Green Line was STOPPED from going all the way to the airports by taxi unions, primarily. The bus service kind of already existed, but only runs every hour or so.
When I fly out of Fort Lauderdale, I take the "Tri-Rail" up there, which, granted, the station is over a mile from the airport, but the "Tri-Rail" used EXISTING tracks when it went into service, and the bus that takes you (for FREE) to the airport, runs about every 10-15 minutes. (btw, it's a "full sized" train, so it'd be a little more difficult to "extend" to the airport, when it continues on for another 100 miles or so, than it would be to make a NEW construction, like the Green Line in L.A., to go straight to the airport)
