It took 4 minutes to go this 700 meters. That’s a speed of about 10.5 kph

On a real note though, I think this "x percentage of y ridership" metric is probably the best way to compare airports in terms of which carries more passengers, but nothing else. It doesn't communicate the raw numbers, why one number is getting closer/further from 100%, etc

New phenomenon ive noticed: almost everyone that drives to pick up their kids from the high school i live by have out of state (not even indiana, we're talking florida, idaho, etc) plates and/or don't have a city sticker. I pay for my parking, these assholes should pay too.
