Funny about the 'gateway' signage - especially since terminal four on the other end has higher traffic with Southwest and USAir. Wow, 20 minutes to Sky Harbor from Downtown would be great!

What's even more odd is that the signs at 24th Street say "Gateway to Sky Harbor International Airport" - but if you get off there, you can't even get to the airport! I really hope that the peoplemover is extended from the rental car center to the 12th Street and Washington Metro station in the future, but I doubt that'll be happening.
