Dulles Airport unveils underground transit cars

Published



Washington Dulles International Airport on Wednesday unveiled new underground “AeroTrain” cars slated to become the airport’s primary means of moving passengers.

The rubber-tired, automated cars will largely replace the airport’s “mobile lounges,” enormous-wheeled ferries that have for years characterized public transportation at Dulles. The new vehicles are part of a project to connect concourses through tunnels under the airport. The first 3.7-mile phase should be finished by 2009.
