I'm normally all for building rail vs buses. But, IMO, a people mover is even more rinky dink than a bus while offering little if any benefit.
nothing rinky-dink about building a maglev link from YYC right to downtown..

could be proof of concept / phase 0 of AB HSR.. and I think it would get a lot more use than an automated shuttle to the nearest LRT stop

and with a under 5 minute travel time from core to terminal, Calgary would essentially have a downtown airport!
