   It just runs to downtown, and then you take a train (possibly, but not   
   likely, the same one) back out of downtown to another suburb.  You'll   
   probably end up traveling _further_ than if you were driving, though you   
   may get there faster depending on highway congestion.   
      
   SEPTA is not unique, either; most cities with transit have a route   
   serving the airport.
