That would be way too simple. See the four white "mobile lounges" in the center of the terminal. The original plan had the mobile lounges taking you straight to the plane, sort of like a jet bridge you taxied to the plane v. every other airport on the planet. That didn't work too well as the airport grew and added terminals so now they bus you out to the terminals. There is a tunnel from the main terminal to terminal B.

They reminded me of something from Star Wars, even though I hate Star Wars.

Interesting, thanks for the reply. I've been to a couple of airports in my lifetime that had bus transportation to the airplane; once in India, and once in the US. Terminals can get boring after a while, and seeing an airplane up close is always a treat.
